چکیده انگلیسی
Corn (Zea mays L.) silage and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations in the US Upper Midwest leave minimal amounts of surface residues, which can contribute to soil degradation, increased surface runoff, and reduced water quality. Planting cover crops after harvest can reduce these concerns, but their effectiveness in reducing nutrient losses in surface runoff shortly after fall planting and fertilization has not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, we applied 65 mm of simulated rainfall in 60 min to five replicate, 1.5 by 3.0 m, field plots in a no-till, corn silage-soybean rotation into which a rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop was planted for 14 consecutive years and to five replicate plots with no cover crop history. Natural slope of the plots ranged from 0.1 to 2.7%. The study was conducted in October 2014, about one month after corn silage harvest and rye planting and ∼1 h after broadcast application of monoammonium phosphate and potassium chloride fertilizers. The living rye cover crop significantly (P ≤ 0.05) delayed surface runoff by 5.7 min and decreased total runoff by 65% compared to plots with no cover crop. This resulted in a significant 68% reduction in sediment loss and even greater significant reductions in fertilizer nutrient losses (i.e., NH4-N - 86%; total P - 83%; total dissolved P - 84%; K - 91%). Earthworm population and biomass, measured using electrical extraction shortly after the rainfall simulations, were 1.2 and 1.4 times greater in cover crop plots than in no cover plots and 3.2 and 2.5 times greater the following spring. Our results suggested that a living cover crop and their long-term usage can contribute to improvements in soil structure and increased earthworm populations that can substantially reduce sediment and nutrient losses in surface runoff due to a severe storm shortly after post-harvest broadcast application of fertilizer.
