A 4 × 2 factorial experiment with three replications was conducted to determine how quality
of runoff from grassed areas treated with poultry (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter is impacted …

Conservation production systems combine tillage and planting practices to reduce soil erosion
and loss of water from farmland. Successful conservation tillage practices depend on the …
