Abstract/Contents:"Cultivated soils that have been put into sod experience an improvement in soil structural properties. This study was conducted to determine the effect of tillage systems on maintaining the infiltration characteristics of sod and the effect of tillage systems on water runoff and soil erosion. An alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)-smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) sod established in 1984 was converted back to cropland beginning in the spring of 1990. Tillage treatments established were moldboard plow, chisel plow, and no-till. Additional no-till treatments were established in 1991, 1992, and 1993. A grass sod treatment was also maintained for comparison. After planting in 1993, two rainfall simulation runs with an average rainfall application rates of 70 mm hr⁻1were conducted on selected treatments. Time of each run was one hour; the second run was conducted a minimum of six hours after the first run but most commonly the next day. Water runoff from the moldboard plowed treatments averaged 24 and 66% of the applied rainfall resulting in soil loss levels of 6.7 and 18.2 t ha⁻1 for the two runs, respectively. Maximum observed water runoff for the no-till treatments was 3% of the applied rainfall resulting in a soil loss of 0.2 t ha⁻1. No water runoff or soil loss was measured from the grass sod. These results show that soil characteristics developed under sod that were beneficial to a reduction in water runoff and soil erosion rapidly disappear with tillage, but can be maintained with no-till."
