Cornstalk Mulching Cuts Soil Loss On Slopes
Michigan State College extension soil conservationist Frank W. Trull explains that crop residues such as cornstalks straw or mulch protect soil from rain impact. An experiment on a 4 percent slope showed 193 pounds soil lost per acre with stalks broken down across the slope versus 4148 pounds with stalks intact, while soybean straw reduced losses to 715 pounds compared with 3262 pounds for bare soil. Break down stalks near ground, shred, or drag to maximize protection.
