Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Tillage system and irrigation regime increased seed cotton yields in two of three years.
- Intervention effect Tillage system and irrigation regime increased leaf stomatal conductance during a drought year.
- Intervention effect An irrigation rate of 5.4 mm day -1 maximized plant biomass in two of three years.
- Intervention effect Leaf N concentrations at mid-bloom were about 7% lower in no surface tillage than in conventional tillage, averaged over three years.
- Intervention effect Soil water contents were 15% lower in the 0 to 20 cm layer after fall paratillage than without it, observed only in 2001.
- Association Higher soil moisture contents were observed in the conventional tillage system.
- Association Soil moisture contents were higher in the no surface tillage system in the 20- to 40-cm depth when there was no fall paratillage.
- Recommendation Cotton growers in the Tennessee Valley using irrigation should not change from the recommended conservation tillage system with a cover crop.
