A rainfall simulator was developed for obtaining data on erosion, runoff, and sediment sizes from rowcrop sideslopes. This research tool can apply a wide range of intensities at impact energies very similar to those of natural rainfall. Results show that large rates of erosion may occur from row sideslopes and that sediment sizes often differ greatly from soil textural sizes.
