The success of soil conservation tillage systems to control water erosion is related to the amount of crop residue and percentage of soil surface coverage. Residue persistence after harvesting is important to maintain soil coverage, which affects soil physical-hydric properties and runoff. The study was conducted in Santa Catarina State, Brazil, with the purpose of evaluating oat and corn residue persistence on soil surface under no-tillage system. The trial was carried out from October of 1995 to December, 1996, using […]
