Synopsis Grasses stabilized soil structure, whereas cultivation of plots in small grain rotation did not. Water entry was higher in soils cropped to cool‐season grasses than in soils cropped to warm‐season grasses. There were no statistically significant differences between the rates of water entry into soil of plots fertilized with ammonium nitrate and of those not fertilized.
