Abstract
Six vegetable crops were grown on flat or rounded precision-shaped beds for evaluation of bed shape on erosion and crop production. Evaluations of sweep or rotary tiller cultivation as related to bed shape were also made. Bed profiles were monitored throughout the growing season to determine changes in bed outline due to erosion and equipment operations. Crop production was not affected by bed shape. Bed profile measurements indicated that more soil was removed from rounded beds than from flat beds. However, since rounded beds were initially higher at the beginning of the season than flat beds, the final profiles of the bed shapes were similar. No differences in bed profiles due to cultivation method were detected.
