C. Soil loss by water and wind shall be reduced to the loss tolerance established for that soil . The Universal Soil Loss Equation aad the Wind Erosion formula can be used to arrive at the amount of residue necessary to keep the soil loss within limits.

On systems where tillage operations are permitted : 1 . Subsurface tillage equipment should be used to keep the residue on the soil surface. 2. On soils that tend to crust , or with some slope to them, a chisel type implement may need to be used after harvest to increase water infiltration and reduce soil loss due to runoff. 3. Chemicals may be used to aid in reducing or eliminating tillage operations. Use manufacturers labels or Colorado Weed Control Handbook for specific rate recommendations. The following options are recommended. a. Fall sweep (4 inches deep) plus Atrazine. Fall sweep immediately (within two weeks) after wheat harvest to kill existing vegetation. Atrazine applied immediately following fall sweep will kill volunteer wheat and weeds until the next summer. Limit summer tillage operations prior to planting. b. Apply a combination of non-selective contact or non-residual herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) plus Atrazine to kill existing weeds and for long-term weed control. Limit summer tillage operations. B 1064 REC 02004981 04/08/85 16: 22 $0. 00 9/019 F 1511 MARY ANN FEUERSTEIN CLERK & RECORDER WELD CO, CO TGN f 182 2/82 Conservation Tillage System 329-3 c.

On soils with a heavy clay or silty surface that tend to seal, a light crust breaking may be needed using sweeps or a chisel using straight shanks. a.

(2) A short residual herbicide may be used for spring applica- tion if necessary to control weeds to substitute for tillage operations normally used.

The following is required: (1) A contact herbicide plus Bladex, Igran or other short residual (45-60 days) may he used for spring application if needed to control weeds to eliminate early spring and early summer tillage. (2) A slot or no-till planter or adequate grain drill shall be used that will disturb not more than 251 of the soil surface.
