Crop rotations, including wheat and sorghum, can provide stubble cover to protectthe soil while cotton is establishing. Controlled traffic layouts have the potential to evenly distribute runoff over the field and prevents concentrations in rill lines. Associated with controlled traffic, minimum tillage and soil compaction control can increase infiltration and reduce runoff. An experiment was established in 1993 to study the impacts of controlled traffic, using a bed and furrow system, on runoff and soil loss.
