Apply to the entire tile-outletted terraced field under a no-till practice only when a high crop residue management practice is used. With high crop residue management practices, little or no crop residue is removed from the field during and after crop harvest. 

Crop Residue Management—Infected crop residues often provide an ideal environment for carryover of many pathogens. In some cases the pathogens increase greatly in the residues. Three basic techniques are used in crop residue management ...

In many respects, crop production has advanced little in the last two decades. More tools (herbicides and insecticides) are available for use by producers, but in many cases we have not fully utilized lessons learned earlier. Residue management seems to be one of those cases. In no-till agriculture, residue management techniques will have to be developed—by engineering, chemical, or biological means—for the system to function.

The difficulty in allelopathic studies has been to link the allelochemicals directly with the plant growth problems. Before the role of crop residue, soil management, or other practices in allelopathic problems can be evaluated, a direct link must be established between the source or production of the chemicals and plant damage. Plant damage may be caused by the chemicals produced from residue decomposition or from the microorganisms residing in the residues.
