Rotation / Cropping Systems

Field testing of yield monitors for cotton strippers.  2002.  Keeling, W., A. R. Brashears and J. D. Everitt  Halfway and Lamesa.  A John Deere cotton stripper equipped with a MICRO-TRAK® yield monitor was used to harvest cotton at two locations (AG-CARES, Helms Farm) in 2002. Maps were created showing the relative differences in cotton yield across different regions of the field.

Creation of Management Zones for Cotton Production.  2002.  Lascano, R., S. J. Officer, J. Booker and S. Maas  Farmers Field.  We can use soil topography, soil electrical conductivity (EC) and soil nitrogen to create crop management units (CMU) that are site-specific. Both topography and EC are easily and rapidly measured providing an economical way to define CMU.
