Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Rye produced approximately 2200 lb/acre per year of dry matter.
- Observation Winter legume dry matter production was about 1800 lb/acre per year.
- Intervention effect Timing of cover incorporation or desiccation did not affect soil and crop variables.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage lowered soil strength in the top 12 inches.
- Observation Soil strength under conservation tillage was unchanged across the two years.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage reduced cotton lint yield after clover by 267 lb/acre relative to conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage reduced cotton lint yield after vetch by 259 lb/acre relative to conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Under conservation tillage, rye cover increased cotton lint yield by 292 lb/acre relative to fallow.
- Intervention effect Tillage and winter cover did not greatly influence cotton fiber properties.
- Intervention effect Rye cover lowered cotton micronaire by 0.1 units relative to legume covers.
- Recommendation The authors recommend rye winter cover for conversion to conservation tillage cotton production on Coastal Plain soils.
