Importance of Crop Residues Stressed by Conservationist
Soil conservationist Ernest Cowger of the California Creek Soil Conservation District urges leaving crop residues on the soil during erosion prone periods. A minimum of 1,000 pounds per acre is recommended to reduce runoff, preserve soil organic matter, and boost beneficial microbes that fight disease.
