STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS
CONSERVATION CROPPING SEQUENCE (acre) 920
STANDARD •
•
Definition
An adapted sequence of crops designed to provide adequate organic
residue for maintenance or improvement of soil tilth.
Purpose '
To improve or maintain good physical , chemical , and biological
conditions of the soil ; help reduce erosion; improve water use •
efficiency and water quality; improve wildlife habitat; or brook
reproduction cycles of plant posts.
Condition Where Practice Applies
On all cropland or other land where agricultural crops are grown.
SPECIFICATIONS
A. Develop a conservation cropping sequence which alone or in
combination with other conservation practices will reduce soil
loss from wind or water to within the soil loss tolerance ; as well
as stress the importance of a good balance of low and high residue
producing crops and legumes.
B. If a cover or green manure crop is to bo used in the conservation
cropping sequence , the specifications for "Cover and Green Manure
Crop" will be used.
C. The conservation cropping sequence must have a total value of zero
or greater for the complete cropping sequence (rotation) , using
the following soil indices table. Refer to Table A. This applies
to non—dryland cropland. Continue using Agronomy Toch Note 52 for
irrigated cropland.
(Page 1 of 4) TGN #201 (Rev. 1)

900325
Other Factors To Consider In Planning
A. Cropping systems often have a direct bearing on the livestock
program on an operating unit. Correlation of crops to be grown
with the planned livestock enterprise is important.
D. Crop management items such as plant populations, seeding rates,
varieties , seed quality, seeding methods , soodbad preparation ,
insect and weed control are all important considerations in soil
and water conservation in which the Soil Conservation Service can
provide guidance to cooperators .
C. While only soil —disturbing trips aro considered in the evaluation,
it should be stressed that all traffic across a field causes
compaction . (Trucks , sprayers , hay balers , wagons , etc . ) . Tho
first trip through a field will cause 80 percent of the
compaction .
•
D. If grasses , legumes or a mixture of grasses and legumes are to be
included in the conservation cropping sequence , the specifications
for "Pasture and Hovland Planting" will be used .

STANDARD AND SPECIFICATION
CONSERVATION TILLAGE (Acre) 329
STANDARD
Definition
Any tillage and planting system in which at least 30 percent of the
soil surface is covered by plant residue after planting to reduce soil
erosion by water; or, where soil erosion by wind is the primary
concern , at least 1 ,000 pounds per acre of flat small grain residue—
equivalent are on the surface during the critical erosion period .
Purpose
To reduce soil erosion ; help maintain or develop good soil tilth ,
efficient moisture use , and water quality ; and provide food and cover
for wildlife .
Conditions where practice applies
On all cropland or on other lands where vegetation is to be
established or reestablished , and where adequate plant residues are
produced . Applies to rotations that include fallow periods as well as
systems of annual cropping .
Planning Considerations
1 . Leave crop residues standing as long as possible prior to the
succeeding crop to trap blowing snow, residue , and soil erosion by
wind and water.
2. This practice is most effective when carried out in conjunction
with other practices such as strip cropping, terracing and contour
farming .
3. Do not operate tillage equipment at the same depth each year .
4. Do not till soil that is too wet or over 70 percent of field
capacity to avoid excessive compaction .
5. Use approved herbicides for weed control in place of tillage when
appropriate .
(Page 1 of 6) TGN #231 (Rev . 4/88)
900325
r
6. Break up tillage pans, as needed , by chiseling or subsoiling to
penetrate restrictive layers for better root and moisture
penetration .
7. Continuous back—to—back planting of the same crop may lead to a
buildup of some disease organisms . Close monitoring should be
performed . Alternating crops can reduce disease problems .
8. Banding fertilizer below and to the side of the drilled seed
usually results in the highest use efficiency and reduces
availability to weeds. Fertilizer that is broadcast is equally
available to the crop and weeds.
9. Operate machinery at a speed that will not unduly pulverize the
soil or bury residue .
10. With a no—till system, develop a straw and chaff management
program to reduce plugging of drills, reduce allelopathic (toxic)
effects, improve herbicide activity, reduce rodent populations ,
and promote uniform stands of crops . Combines or other harvesters
should be equipped with straw and chaff spreaders to uniformly
distribute crop residue .
11 . Seed placement in conservation tillage is very important. Seed
must be placed at a uniform depth with the seed firmly in contact
with the soil . When needed, drills or planters can be equipped
with straw straighteners ahead of the openers to keep residue away
from the seed zone .
SPECIFICATIONS
A. To prevent erosion by water, a minimum of 30% of the soil surface
will be covered by residue after planting .
B. To prevent erosion by wind, maintain at least 1000 lbs of flat
small grain equivalent on the surface during the critical wind
erosion period .
C. The goal should be to reduce soil loss by water and wind toward
the loss tolerance established for that soil . Note: It is useful
to use the LISLE and WEQ (not added) to determine how much residue
is needed to control erosion but because of the definition , the
30% cover or 1 ,000 lbs . of SGE is all that is needed to meet the
requirements of the practice .
(Page 2 of 6) TGN #231 (Rev . 4/88)
900325
Table 1 — A Guide for Approximate Residue Left After Each Operation
Approximate Residue
Left After Each Operation
Spraying (for chemical fallow) 100%
Undercutters , sweeps 24" or wider 90%
Drills , Disk 80%
Drills , Chisels 90%
Cultivators , 14" — 22" low 80%
crown shovels
Cultivator with 8" — 12" shovels , 80%
Rodweeder with shovels 85/
Chisel plow
Straight points 75%
Twisted points 50%
Tandem disc , one—way & offset disc
3" deep 30%
6" deep 10%
Moldboard plow 0-10%
Overwinter weathering 75-85'%
Example : A field with 3,000 lbs . per acre residue . First trip:
cultivator with chisels , 3,000 lbs . x 75% = 2250 lbs . Second
trip : cultivator with chisels , 2250 lbs x 75% = 1687 lbs .
Following operations would continue to reduce the residue .
D. One of the following conservation tillage systems will be used :
1 . No—till or slot planting
The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting . Planting is
completed in a narrow seedbed approximately 1 to 3 inches
wide . Weed control is accomplished primarily with herbicides .
Residue from the preceding crop is to be retained on the soil
surface with the exception of that buried by the drill .
(Page 3 of 6) TGN #231 (Rev . 4/88)
900325
2. Ridge—till ( includes no—till on ridges)
The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Approximately
one—third of the soil surface is tilled at planting with
sweeps or row cleaners. Planting is completed on ridges
usually 4 to 6 inches higher than the elevation between the
rows . Weed control is accomplished with a combination of
herbicides and cultivation . Cultivation is used to rebuild
ridges .
3. Strip—till
The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting . Approximately
one—third of the soil surface is tilled at planting time .
Tillage in the row may consist of a rototiller, in—row chisel ,
row cleaners , etc . Weed control is accomplished with a
combination of herbicides and cultivation.
4. Mulch—till ( includes stubble mulching)
The total soil surface is disturbed by tillage prior to
planting . Tillage tools such as chisels , field cultivators,
discs , sweeps, or blades are used . Weed control is
accomplished with a combination of herbicides and cultivation.
5. Reduced—till
Any other tillage and planting system not covered above that
meets the 1000 lbs . flat small grain equivalent for wind
erosion control or 30 percent ground cover for water erosion
control .
E. On cropping sequences where tillage operations are permitted :
1 . Subsurface tillage equipment such as sweeps or rod weeders
should be used to keep the residue on the soil surface .
2. On soils that tend to crust, or have some slope , a chisel
operation across the slope may be needed 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
Pesticide Guide — Field Crops 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
(Page 4 of 6) TGN #231 (Rev. 4/88)
900325
existing vegetation. Atrazine or Glean applied
immediately following fall sweep should control weeds
until the next planting season . An application of a
burndown herbicide such as Roundup or Paraquat may be
necessary if moisture does not become available to
activate the residual herbicides .
b . Apply a combination of non—selective contact or non—
residual herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) plus
Atrazine , Banvel , or Glean to kill existing weeds and for
long—term control . Keep summer tillage operations to
those essential to control weeds .
c . Contact herbicide such as Paraquat plus Bladex , Igran or
other short residual (45-60 days) may be used for spring
application to eliminate early spring and early summer
tillage .
d . 2,4—D Butyl Ester plus Atrazine, Igran , or Bladex are
economical alternatives if approximately 90% of the fall
weeds are broadleaf .
F. For no—till cropping sequences:
( 1 . Conventional tillage operations will not be used to control
volunteer crop growth or annual forbs and grasses .
a. Wheat—fallow (chemical only) — Use of chemicals to
eliminate tillage operations . The following is required.
1 . Contact herbicides , such as paraquat or Roundup , plus
Atrazine , Glean or other residuals and tank mixes such
as Atrazine—Bladex and Atrazine—Igran shall be applied
immediately following harvest to kill existing weeds
and give long—term weed control .
2. A short residual herbicide may be used for spring
application if necessary to control weeds to
substitute for tillage operations normally used.
3. A slot or no—till planter or grain drill shall be used
that will disturb not more than 25% of the soil
surface .
b . Corn , sorghum, and small grains (chemical only) . Use of
chemicals to eliminate tillage operations in irrigated
cropland or annual cropping systems . The following' is
required .
(Page 5 of 6) TGN #231 (Rev . 4/88)
•
u0325
1 . A contact herbicide plus Bladex , Igran or other short
residual (45-60 days) may be 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 25% of
the soi I surface .
3. Atrazine may be used in a wheat—sorghum—fallow or a
wheat—corn—fallow sequence following wheat harvest.
G. Farmers must be aware of the hazards involved in using residual
herbicides .
1 . Caution must be exercised in use of atrazine on soils with a
high pH and label directions need to be followed carefully .
2. Caution should be taken when applying long residual herbicides
annually so no overlap or carry—over effect of chemical
occurs.
3. Generally a minimum of 20 gallons of water, preferably 30,
will be needed to get adequate coverage of chemical .
4. For more uniform application, large volume sprayers with wide
stable boom coverage are preferred over small units with
narrow coverage . The wider swath should result in fewer
overlaps or skips . Dust should be held to a minimum as it
deactivates some herbicides. Nozzle spacing should greater
than 40 inches for uniform distribution .
H. Chemicals used in performing this practice must be registered
according to local regulations . They will be applied strictly in
accordance with other authorized federal , state , and local
regulation . Specific chemical recommendations shall be in
accordance with container labels and/or current CSU — Colorado
Pesticide Guide — Field Crops .
I . Trade names were used in this standard only to make the
information more understandable . This does not imply endorsement
of certain products or criticism of products not named or
mentioned .
J . Crop residues shall not be burned before or after tillage .
