What 's left after a grain crop
has been harvested'1 About 4 to
6 thousand pounds an acre of
leaves and stalks commonly
called crop residue This
aftermath can become a
valuable addition to the land if
bandied properly Crop residue
utilized for cover on cultivated
land offers the soil the same
protection the growing crop
once did during the spring of
the year Although not actively
growing, residues left on or
near the soil surface can
provide a protective blanket
that resists erosive forces
caused by intense rains and
high winds Managing residues
in this manner is called "Cl
Residue Managemen
During the next couple of
weeks farmers in the San
Patricio Soil and Water
Conservation District will be
practicing good soil
conservation through proper
utilization of plant residues
Generally, soils in our area
need a minimum of 2000 lbs an
acre of air dry residue
maintained on or near the
surface to receive adequate
protection from erosion
whenever the land is not

would otherwise hit the bare
soil and dislodge soil particles
After particles are broken
apart :t is relatively easy for
water & wind to carry them of!
someplace to silt up rivers,
hays and drainage outlets
Stalks over the land surface
also help conserve moisture by
reducing evaporation,
increasing infiltration of water
into the soil and preventing
surface crusting
The moat important soils in
the San Patricio SWCD are
deep clays and clay loams
They are relatively flat and are
slow to very slow in taking in
water Because of these two
factors. incorporation of plant
residues into the top 2 inches of
the soil surface is preferable to
leaving them entirely on the
top Tucking them in' also
prevents residues Irom
floating away after lag rains
Incorporation of residues
into the soil is usually best done
with disk or chisel plows,
however sweeps are effective
too. provided they are set right
In all cases timing of tillage
practices is extremely
important Bear in mind that
the cntual erosion period
occurs from July through the
end of October This is the time
of the year that South Texas
receives its highest intensity
rains Care should he taken in
timing the tillage practices to
have adequate amounts of
residue on the land through the
critical period to minimize soil
loss
All soils are living things and
need to be treated according to
their needs and capabilities
The same treatment may be
good for one and had for
another A cropping and
cultural system should be
worked out according to the
soil needs This could include
crop rotations for soil
improvement and disease
control, residue management
for soil protection and using
approved herbicides to control
unwanted vegetation and
cutting down on mechanical
trips across the field to lessen
soil compaction and save fuel
