Controlled Wheel Traffic for Cotton Production

Chester L. Darcey, Lambert H. Wilkes, and Kenneth E. Watkins


 
ABSTRACT

A cropping system was devised to compare the effects of wheel traffic on soil compaction, energy requirement, and yield in cotton production. A conventional system where machinery wheels were run in the plant furrow was compared to plant rows which had zero wheel traffic, to identify what benefits, if any, might be expected.
