- Observation CT and ST differed in soil compaction after tillage in year three.
- Intervention effect Integrating cover crop and organic amendments increased depth to soil compaction zones.
- Observation Soil compaction occurred at 27.5-cm depth under CT.
- Observation Soil compaction occurred at 30-cm depth under CT with cover crop and amendments.
- Observation Soil compaction occurred at 10-cm depth under ST.
- Observation Soil compaction occurred at 15-cm depth under ST with cover crop and amendments.
- Intervention effect Cover crop and amendments tended to increase soil respiration, inconsistently across years and depths.

- Intervention effect Management systems had minimal impact on cotton productivity.
- Intervention effect Management systems had minimal impact on fiber quality.
- Observation The authors conclude that ST effectively prepared the seedbed.
