Abstract Intensive cropland soil erosion can be caused by disturbance activities. However, conservation measures have been reported to increase soil resistance and decrease erosion. Hydraulic flume experiments were conducted to measure the detachment rate of disturbed soil samples from a peanut field with five tillage practices. Hydraulic variables were adopted to estimate the soil detachment rate and to quantify the rill erodibility parameter. The disturbed soil detachment rates are substantially greater than those for comparable undisturbed soil experiments. The average disturbed soil detachment rates for the 5 different tillage treatments, from lowest to highest, are as follows: straw mulch (PC)
