Various interactions, particularly those existing between the rainfall intensity, the slope gradient, the slope length, and the tillage supposedly can affect the runoff features for interrill erosion. Despite numerous studies, their effect on runoff production and pathways and the resulting soil losses have seldom been analyzed. This is especially true under field and tillage conditions. This study investigated the effect of rainfall intensity, slope length, and gradient on runoff amount and pathways for interrill erosion in tilled fields. Runoff features and soil losses were evaluated on bounded plots of 1- and 5-m length located on 4 to 8% slope gradients, and under natural and simulated rainfalls with intensities ranging from 1.5 to 30 mm h(-1). Runoff coefficients (R) ranged from 34 to 98% whereas sediment concentrations (SC) varied from 2.9 to 49 g l(-1). The runoff coefficient was affected by all three factors: rainfall intensity (r=0.48; P
