The purpose of the guide is to help you identify commonly used farm equipment. Its color photos and line drawings will help facilitate communication by providing common definitions and RUSLE2 terminology with NRCS and our clients.
Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, Version 2 (RUSLE2), was developed primarily to guide conservation planning, inventory erosion rates and estimate sediment delivery. Values computed by RUSLE2 are supported by accepted scientific knowledge and technical judgment, are consistent with sound principles of conservation planning, and result in good conservation plans.
The different systems reviewed in this guide are color coded. The page boarder colors will group the different systems together: Tillage Systems-green. Primary Tillage-red. Secondary Tillage-yellow. Fertilizer/Manure-brown. Combination Tools-blue. Other - orange
