Conservation measures and experimental setup

Experimental setup: The field experiment includes three treatments with two replicas (see map). The following three treatments are applied: (a) no tillage - no herbicides application, (b) no tillage - herbicides application, and (c) tillage operations perpendicular to the contour lines at depth 20 cm using a disk.

At the bottom of each plot there is a small ditch and a tube that leads runoff water to a dipping bucket and soil sediment trap.

• WOCAT reference conservation measure (Qt reference): CtWtA3
• WOCAT reference implementation approach (Qa reference): WP3.1, deliverable 3.1.1

Expected effects: No tillage or herbicides application will reduce surface water runoff and sediment loss. Furthermore, soil water conservation and structure stability will be enhanced.
