Effect of Cropping Systems on Runoff, Erosion, and Wheat Yields1

G. M. Horner2

Synopsis: Crop rotations that include legume-grass sod crops are more effective for runoff and erosion control, soil organic matter maintenance, and high wheat yields than the unfertilized pea-wheat and fallow-wheat systems. Summer fallowing causes the largest erosion losses and the most rapid depletion of organic matter.
