Effectiveness of Planter Row Cleaners and Press Wheels to Process Large Quantities of Biomass

The biggest hurdle in the integration of cover crops into the cotton production system is establishment of the cotton crop. The purpose of the study was 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.
