Summary

Water drainage and herbicide degradation and leaching were studied during four years in a continuous maize field managed with two tillage systems and two types of fallow periods. The tillage systems consisted of either a conventional practice with mouldboard ploughing (28 cm-depth) or a conservation practice with superficial tillage (
