Abstract

Southeastern Piedmont soils are responsive to tillage with respect to soil erosion and crop growth because ofthe type of topography and their soil physical nature. A tillage study at North Carolina A&T State University isevaluating the long-term effects of tillage and wheel-traffic compaction in no-till on soil physical properties,crop growth, runoff, and losses of soil nutrients and pesticides. Treatments are conventional tillage, striptillage, no tillage with traffic control and no tillage with a fully trafficked surface. This paper summarizes thecrop growth, runoff and soil loss results obtained since the treatments were first implemented in 1995.
