The influence of cover crops and tillage on water and sediment yield, and on nutrient, and organic matter losses in an olive orchard on a sandy loam soil

Is the cover crop practice suitable for soil and water conservation in olive tree cropping? Rainfall, runoff, sediments, nutrient and organic carbon losses from 8 60 m plots were measured during four hydrological years (2002–2007) in a field trial, in which two different soil management systems were...

Rainfall, runoff, sediments, nutrient and organic carbon losses from 8 60 m plots were measured during four hydrological years (2002–2007) in a field trial, in which two different soil management systems were used to confirm this hypothesis: a cover crop (CC), and conventional tillage (CT). The plots were located in a private olive tree farm on a sandy-loam soil, near Seville, southern Spain. The cover crop, as compared to conventional tillage, efficiently reduced runoff and sediment yield down to tolerable levels, 5.68% of the rainfall being converted to runoff, and the soil loss reaching 0.04 kg m 2 year 1, as the average of four years. Additionally, in the cover crop treatment, the values of the nutrient export either dissolved in the runoff water or adsorbed in the sediment, were lower than the analogous values of the conventional tillage treatment: 0.631 and 0.065 kg m 2 year 1 of organic carbon and nitrogen, respectively, 0.175 and 0.0333 kg m 2 year 1 of soluble K and P, respectively, and 0.010 and 0.002 kg m 2 year 1 of available K and P, respectively. The adoption of a cover crop as a soil management practice can be a feasible way to reach sustainability in many olive-cropped soils of southern Spain, although this method is not always easy to implement due to technical problems such as seed selection, its maintenance, and the choice of the correct killing date to avoid water competition. These difficulties could explain the slow rate of its adoption by many farmers.
