Abstract Intense tillage degrades soil health, worsens soil structure, and accelerates nutrient and sediment transport to vulnerable water bodies. Unfortunately, few studies have measured both soil health and water quality under conservation tillage, particularly in semi‐arid furrow‐irrigated fields, limiting our understanding of tillage impacts in ...
