TextPublication details: MB : Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.Description: 7 (34) p. : col. maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Retaining crop residues on the surface of the soil is the single most effective and practical means of controlling erosion. The amount of residue required for soil protection depends on the erodibility of the soil. Tillage has a direct influence on the amount of crop residue left on the soil surface. Each tillage operation buries crop residues, the amount varying according to the tillage implement used. Some crops (such as potatoes and pulses) do not produce enough residue for effective erosion control. Other practices must be utilized on soils left unprotected after harvest.
