Issues with infiltration on levelled country?
Similar to furrow irrigation any cuts in field may result in a reduction in productivity for that area in the field due to exposure of soil with higher bulk density and therefore lower infiltration rates. For CP&LM In most situations, full single grade levelling is not required. In all instances, growers should consider some localised water holding strategy (dikes, cracks, stubble, rough inter-row) as necessary under CP&LMs. CP&LM fields can be cut to drain only. Some growers will install a CP&LM for a winter wheat crop to help break up the soil structure in new cuts areas before cotton is planted.
