Einfluss unterschiedlicher Bodenbearbeitung auf Oberflächenabfluss, Bodenabtrag sowie auf Nährstoff- und Pestizidausträge

The objective of this long-term field experiment was to study the effects of different tillage practices (conventional tillage, conservation tillage with cover crop and no-till with cover crop) on surface runoff soil erosion, and nutrient and pesticide losses. The different management systems had no significant effect on surface runoff. Compared to conventional tillage conservation tillage and no-till reduced soil loss up to 80 % and nutrient losses up to 85 %. Pesticide losses were reduced greatly when using conservation tillage and no-till.
