In order to clarify the process of erosion dynamic change at the different growth stages of maize, the simulated rainfall experiments and runoff plot experiment were employed to investigate characteristics of surface runoff and sediment yield among different tillage practices (flat planting, longitudinal ridge and cross ridge) during the period of corn maturity. The results showed the runoff amount was the minimum for the conventional tillage before planting and for the ridge tillage in the jointing stage—heading stage of maize under the condition of rainfall intensity 1.0 mm/min. The runoff amount was the minimum for the ridge tillage in the jointing stage—heading stage of maize under the condition of rainfall intensity of 1.5 mm/min. Under the condition of rainfall intensity of 2.0 mm/min, the runoff amount was the minimum for the ridge tillage at the seedling—jointing stage of maize. Under the condition of rainfall intensity of 1.0 and 1.5 mm/min, the runoff generation time was the shortest at the tasseling—maturity stage of maize for all tillage practices. However, the runoff generation time was the shortest at seedling—jointing stage under rainfall intensity of 2.0 mm/min. This study provides a certain theoretical basis for the effective prevention and control of soil erosion.
