Abstract
Objection of this study is to investigate the effects of different tillage practices (conventional, conservation and no tillage) on soil erosion, surface runoff and nutrient transport. Experiments are carried out on 16m¿ large plots in the field using rainfall simulation. Rainfall of various intensities (40,60,20 mm/h) is applied on initial dry and wet soil surface. Temporal distribution of surface runoff, soil loss and nutrient losses is measured.
