Abstract

ABSTRACT FOUR tillage tools and three row spacings for cotton production were investigated for 3 yr. Highest emergence was noted from the use of a chisel, a narrow fluted coulter, and 25.4 cm (10 in.) row spacing. Although highest yield was associated with the plowed seedbed preparation method and a 1.02 m (40 in.) row spacing, higher net returns may result with narrower row cotton and less total tillage.
