Description: One of the requirements of tillage during the summer-fallowing or the seed - bed preparation of Canadian prairie soils is to maintain a fieldsurface condition resistant to erosion. Maximum conservation of surface trash is generally required for this purpose (2). The relative merits of various types of tillage machines for conserving protective trash have been outlined (1, 2). It was concluded (1) that disc-type machines leave about 50 per cent of the existing residues on the surface alter each tillage operation. It has been suggested (1, 5) that factors that can be controlled by the operator influence the amount of surface residue (trash) conserved by disc-type machines. A series of studies was conducted at Lethbridge to determine the influence of stubble height and such operator-controllable factors as speed, depth, and angular adjustment of the machine on surface-trash conservation with disc-type machines.
