Key findings (brief)
All three techniques were highly effective at reducing soil erosion, nutrient and pesticide movement. Wheat-cotton rotation reduced soil erosion by 70% and endosulfan concentrations by 40%. Three less insecticide sprays were needed for the wheat-cotton rotation crops. PAM applications to irrigation water reduced sediment loads in runoff by 80%. Vegetative strips filtered runoff water entering tail drains and trapped 65-85% of total endosulfan and 67% of chlorpyrifos in the sediment from runoff water.
