RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Soil erosion from five soybean tillage systems JF Journal of Soil and Water Conservation FD Soil and Water Conservation Society SP 425 OP 428 VO 38 IS 5 A1 C. H. Shelton A1 F. D. Tompkins A1 D. D. Tyler YR 1983 UL http://www.jswconline.org/content/38/5/425.abstract AB Runoff from natural and simulated rainfall on 0.10-hectare (0.25-acre) plots was analyzed to evaluate soil losses from soybean plots and five different tillage systems on a highly erodible soil in West Tennessee. Soil losses generally were greatest for the conventional-till, single-crop soybean system, followed in order by drilled soybeans; conventional-till, double-cropped soybeans; no-till, double-cropped soybeans; and no-till, single-cropped soybeans. Results are reported for selected storms in the 3-year period 1980–1982. Energy requirements were also monitored and fuel consumption for various tillage practices is presented.
