Long-term rotation systems were established in 2004 at the Delta Research and Extension Center near Stoneville, MS to evaluate various production systems.  Six different systems have been establish so that each crop appears in the field each year.  The systems include 1) continuous cotton, 2) corn/cotton, 3) corn/cotton/cotton, 4) corn/soybean, 5) soybean/corn/cotton, and 6) soybean/corn/cotton/cotton.  The latest technology advances in production are being used for each crop and all grown with supplemental irrigation.  This poster will summarize the the first five years of the study.
