The presentation will focus on the benefits of lupin,  a winter legume cover crop, in rotation with cotton.  Specifically, the presentation will be focused on the potential use of lupin for weed suppression, but will also touch on the interactions with other aspects of the system, including pest and beneficial insects, nematodes, soil nitrogen, and cotton yields.
