HighlightsFour summer cover crops under two irrigation regimes were tested for soil wind erosion control.Soil aggregate stability and wind erosion losses were improved with plant cover in the peak summer.Sorghum sudan is a prominent summer species for wind erosion control in the arid southwest. Abstract. Cover crops can have significant impacts on minimizing soil erosion by wind, which is a common problem in the arid southwest. A study was conducted at NMSU Leyendecker Plant Science Center, Las Cruces, New Mexico, to evaluate the impacts of selected summer cover crops on soil loss during wind erosion events. Four summer grass species [Japanese millet (Echinochloa esculenta), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), brown top millet (Urochloa ramosa (L.) Nguyen), and sorghum sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor × S. bicolor var. Sudanese)] were randomly assigned to four blocks under two irrigation regimes (full-irrigation and deficit-irrigation). Results showed significant effect of grasses on horizontal soil flux compared to control under both irrigation regimes. When comparing the grasses, sorghum sudan grass performed better than the other tested summer cover crops for soil surface protection from wind erosion with its higher ground coverage, higher plant density, taller plant height and higher amount of biomass, while brown top millet was least effective in terms of plant and erosion control characteristics (P=0.05). Pearl millet and Japanese millet performed better than brown top millet, but was as effective as sorghum sudan as barriers against the wind erosion. Therefore, sorghum sudan is a prominent cover crop for summer in the arid zones of desert southwest. Producers of this region can be significantly benefited from the current research recommendations about cover crops choices for summer season.

Barrier Strips

Three-row flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and mustard (Brassica juncea L.) barrier strips were seeded 10.7 m apart on conventional-tillage summerfallow in mid- to late July for wind erosion control at Swift Current to determine their effects on soil water, soil fertility, weeds, and yield of the subsequent wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop. In 3 yr with average winter precipitation, snow trapped by the strips replenished soil water consumed by the oilseeds Over the relatively dry winter of 1991–1992, snow accumulation did not fully replenish water withdrawn by mustard barriers. The barrier strips did not affect soil water or subsequent spring wheat yields midway between the barriers. Wheat yields immediately on the previous oilseed strips averaged 6 and 17% less for flax and mustard, respectively. This yield depression was attributed to nitrogen deficiency However, over the entire field, estimated wheat yield loss from using oilseed barriers was less than 2%. N and F fertilizer, applied when seeding the oilseed strips, increased subsequent wheat yields. Weeds were not numerous in the study and so trifluralin applied when seeding the strips, had little effect on weeds and no effect on subsequent wheat yields. Although it caused slightly greater yield loss in the succeeding wheat crop, mustard has several advantages for summerfallow oilseed barrier strips compared with flax including a wider potential strip spacing, lower seeding rate, possible tolerance to grasshoppers, and potential for seeding later in the summerfallow period.
