- Observation Interseeding gave adequate stands for every cover crop each year.
- Observation Drill seeded clover winter killed in two of three years.
- Intervention effect Interseeded legumes had more tissue nitrogen at cotton planting than drill seeded legumes.
- Intervention effect No tillage increased cotton seedling mortality in one of three years.
- Intervention effect No conservation tillage system increased cotton yield over fall plowing.
- Intervention effect Cotton planted into killed rye yielded as much as fall plowed cotton.
- Intervention effect Cotton planted into rye required roughly 34 kg extra fertilizer N per hectare.
- Intervention effect Cotton following vetch yielded as much as fall plowing in two of three years.
- Intervention effect Cotton after vetch needed about 34 kg less fertilizer N per hectare.
- Intervention effect No tillage into clover yielded less cotton than fall plowing every year.
