The objective of this research was to assess runoff and sediment loss from a Pacolet sandy clay loam (clayey, kaolinitic, thermic, Typic Kanhapludult) in a 2-year field experiment. Conventional tillage (CT) corn (Zea mays L.) for grain, no-tillage grain production with surface residue (NTG), and no-tillage silage production without surface residue (NTS) were compared under simulated rainfall of 12.7 and 50.8 mm h−1. In addition to runoff determinations, selected soil physical properties were measured in the plant row, and trafficked and untrafficked interrow. Residue cover was > 90% in NTG plots, 41% in NTS, and < 10% in CT. While sediment loss (NTG < NTS < CT) was associated with residue cover, no-tillage runoff exceeded CT on all but one date. Average first event runoff in both years (% of water applied) was 40% for NTG, 44% for NTS, and 22% for CT. Runoff doubled with CT on the second event each year, suggesting soil surface seal development. Soil physical properties were affected less by tillage system than position. Bulk density was 1.60 vs. 1.41 g cm−3 in 1990 and 1.65 vs. 1.44 g cm−3 in 1991 for trafficked versus untrafficked positions. Macroporosity was 50% less in trafficked areas. Although saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) was variable, untrafficked Ksat was 22–38 times and temporal rainfall patterns are important factors governing runoff potential.}, number={1-2}, journal={SOIL & TILLAGE RESEARCH}, author={Myers, JL and Wagger, MG}, year={1996}, month={Nov}, pages={115–129} }
