TL;DRAbstract

Tbe present work studies tbe effect of various tillaqe systems on the water infiltration in a sandy clay loam soil (Calcic Haploxeralf) from Seville province. The followinq tillaqe metbods were considered: mouldboard plouqhinq (MP), cultivator application (C) and no-tillaqe (NT). In each treatment, water infiltration was measured using both double-rinq infil trometer and rainfall simulator. Infil tration rates for MP and C treatments were siqnificantly (p=0.05 level) hiqher than for NT treatment. Tbe infiltration rates in the plouqh pan of the MP and C treatments were not siqnificantly different (p=O. 05 leve!) to those o the consolidated zone (20 cm depth) in tbe NT treatment. For tbe different soil conditions, created witb tbe tillaqe methods used, the sorptivity parameter was calculated usinq the Philip equation.
