Evaluation of Planter Attachments to Maximize the Likelihood of Establishing Profitable Cotton Stands in High Biomass Cover Crops

The biggest hurdle in the integration of cover crops into the cotton production system is establishment of the cotton crop.  The purpose of this project is to establish three trials demonstrating the ability of planter attachments to increase the consistency of seed placement, decrease kickouts, decrease hair-pinning, and close the furrow in high biomass, cover cropped systems.   This producer-identified information void must be filled if cover crops are to be successfully integrated into cotton production.
