Abstract

The rapid adoption of glyphosate-resistant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has presented growers with alternative technologies for no-till cropping systems. Notill cotton following a wheat cover crop was compared to no-till cotton without a cover crop in nine paired fields in Mississippi. A wheat cover crop was found to significantly increase the yield of no-till cotton an average of 11.96% or 110 lbs of lint per acre. The net value of the average response of no-till cotton to a wheat cover crop was estimated to be $48.95/acre. Wheat as a cover crop improves the yield and profitability of no-till cotton.
