TY - JOUR T1 - Crop sequences and conservation tillage to control irrigation furrow erosion and increase farmer income JF - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation SP - 139 LP - 142 VL - 46 IS - 2 AU - D. L. Carter AU - R. D. Berg Y1 - 1991/03/01 UR - http://www.jswconline.org/content/46/2/139.abstract N2 - Five years of research show that there are many benefits to conservation tillage on furrow-irrigated land. Benefits are enhanced when cropping sequences are altered to accommodate the fewest number of tillage operations over the entire cropping sequence. Results showed that soil erosion can be reduced 47 to 100 percent, crop yields can be sustained, and farmer net income can be increased an average of more than $125 ha−1 each year over a 5-year cropping sequence.
