| Intense ultraviolet radiation, especially at higher elevations, damages soil tilth. |
| This organic matter helps to maintain good tilth, helps to hold moisture, and acts as a storehouse for plant nutrients. |
| Good soil tilth is still a prerequisite for effective one-pass incorporation. |
| This he mows and lets decay, allowing the organic matter to break down, improving tilth. |
| Rotating corn with forages on minesoils is encouraged because soil tilth rapidly improves with forage cover. |
| Crop residue has a nutrient value and will catch snow, reduce evaporation, increase infiltration, and improve soil tilth. |
