| Description | The effects of reservoir tillage on runoff losses, soil moisture content and crop yields were examined. Replicated plots were established on eight different low pressure center-pivot sprinkler irrigated fields, covering a range of soils, slopes, and crop conditions. Results showed that reservoir tillage substantially reduces or eliminates runoff and could increase irrigation efficiencies by as much as 26 percent. Soil moisture contents under reservoir tillage were increased in each study... |
