Preliminary results with mulches applied to eroded wasteland sown to lespedeza
1941
A series of preliminary tests dealing with mulching with grain straw and with lespedeza straw of annual lespedeza seedings on thin, steep, clay-gall lands is reported in connection with which beneficial effects due to mulching have been obtained on stands, growth, yields of the crops, and reduction of soil and water losses. The plan of growing mulches in place or of self-mulching cropping practices for the better crop lands is suggested by the results obtained in these tests on practically sterile, waste land.
