ABSTRACT
The Pegasus plow is a new implement for one-pass cotton plowdown. Invented in a University of Arizona research project on reducing dust emissions from tillage, the Pegasus is unique in that it is capable of burying the whole cotton stalk (without shredding). Stalks are buried under the bed, at about the same depth as the furrow bottoms. A very simple and reliable machine, the Pegasus gives cotton farmers the option of using controlled traffic tillage without sacrificing good residue burial or easy machinery maintenance.
