Abstract Soil losses from crop row sideslopes were evaluated for 18 soils in a bare, tilled condition to determine their relative susceptibilities to interrill erosion. Erodibilities varied by a ratio of > 10:1 for the initial run and by 4:1 for succeeding runs. The poorly aggregated high‐silt soils were most erodible, and the high‐clay soils were least erodible. Simple correlations of interrill erosion with various soil properties were determined. Erosion was best correlated with clay (<2 µm) percentage, 1500 kPa water, exchangeable calcium, sum of exchangeable bases, cation exchange capacity, and organic matter content, all negatively. Interrill erosion was well correlated (positively) with the site specific K ‐factor of the universal soil loss equation.
