Infiltration And Runoff Parameters For Tilled And No-Till Row Crops, Andrew J. Volkmer
Infiltration And Runoff Parameters For Tilled And No-Till Row Crops, Andrew J. Volkmer
Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Infiltration and runoff are hydrologic processes that effect the amount of water available to plants, for groundwater recharge, and for stream flow. No-till planting (NT) is a management practice used to reduce soil erosion, increase water infiltration, and reduce soil water evaporation, and can have great impact on infiltration and runoff. An investigation was conducted to determine the impact of NT on infiltration and runoff when compared to tilled conditions.
Runoff and precipitation data was gathered from sites at Fillmore County, NE, Phelps County, NE, the USDA-ARS North Appalachian Experimental Watersheds (NAEW) near Coshocton, OH, and the Lennoxville Research Station …
