[00:00:03.000]Cropping systems which preserve surface residue are a practical approach to reduce the potential of soil erosion by wind.
[00:00:12.000]Mulch tillage maintains crop residues on the entire soil surface year-round.
[00:00:17.000]It is one of the simplest systems to use in reducing wind erosion and at the same time contributes to the control of water erosion.
[00:00:25.000]Excessive tillage that buries crop residues is a major cause of inadequate vegetative cover on cropland.
[00:00:32.000]Mulch tillage practice uses non-inversion tillage where residue is only partially incorporated using chisels, sweeps, field cultivators, or similar implements.
[00:00:44.000]No-till or strip-till involves managing the amount, orientation,
[00:00:48.860]and distribution of plant residues on the soil surface year-round while growing crops in narrow
[00:00:54.850]slots or tilled strips in the field. This practice is also referred to as zero till, slot plant, row
[00:01:02.530]till, or more generally conservation tillage. Ridge till manages crop residues on the soil surface
[00:01:12.310]year-round by growing crops on preformed ridges alternating with furrows which are protected by
[00:01:18.530]crop residue.
[00:01:21.330]Seasonal residue management leaves protective residue on the soil surface
[00:01:26.270]during a prescribed time of year by delaying primary tillage or seedbed
[00:01:30.930]preparation until immediately prior to planting.
