Surface and groundwater quality impacts of conservation tillage practices on burley tobacco production systems in Southwest Virginia

This study measured sediment, nutrient and pesticide edge-of-field and deep percolation losses from conventional tillage (CT), strip tillage (ST), and no-till (NT) treatments in a burley tobacco production system. The field experiment results show that the CT treatment yielded more total runoff, 93....
