Evaluation of Cover Crops, Conservation Tillage, and Nitrogen Management in Cotton Production in Southeastern Virginia
… examined 1) soil compaction and cotton yield response to strip-tillage compared to no-tillage with a precision planted tillage radish and 2) the influence of legume mix, rye, and legume mix/rye combination cover crops with four in-season nitrogen (N) rates applied to cotton on cover crop …

An Integrated Approach for Nitrogen Management in Upland Cotton Production
… and 3) evaluate the effects of cover crops on lint yield. Cover crops were winter fallow (winter weeds), small grain [cereal rye (Secale cereale)], legume mix [(50% crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum): 50% hairy vetch (Vicia villosa)], and legume mix + rye [(67% legume mix:33% hairy vetch)]. …

Defining Optimal Defoliation and Harvest Timing for Various Fruiting Patterns of Cotton in North Carolina
… growers must focus attention not only on lint yield but also on lint quality. Implementing sound agronomic practices, such as proper defoliation timing and harvest timing, may help maximize lint yield and fiber quality. Cotton is normally defoliated when 60 percent of the total harvestable …

Effects of Glyphosate on Weed Management and Reproductive Biology of Glyphosate-Resistant Corn
… to evaluate crop tolerance, weed control, grain yield, and net returns in glyphosate-resistant corn with various herbicide systems. Weed management systems evaluated various preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicide options. Glyphosate formulations did not influence crop injury, weed …
