Effects of Population, Row Spacing, and Nitrogen Fertilization on Lint Yields of No-Till Cotton

S. G. Vacek, J. E. Matocha and J. R. Smart


 
ABSTRACT

Cotton producers, due to current economic conditions, need to produce cotton more economically than they have in the past. They need to make less trips over the field and make the utmost use of their fertilizer dollar. One way of accomplishing this goal may be by using some form of the no-till system combined with an ultra narrow row production system. A study was conducted at two different locations to evaluate cotton lint yield response to four row spacings, four populations, and two nitrogen rates under no-till conditions. Results showed that row spacings, plant populations, and nitrogen rates had a direct effect on plant heights and lint yields at both locations.
