Bob Nichols, Vice President of Agriculture Research at Cotton Incorporated, reviewed the potential benefits of crop rotation at the recent Beltwide Production Conference.
Suggested introduction for cut one:
Nichols says agronomic and economic effects are the principal benefits to consider in making the decision to initiate a crop rotation system.
Suggested introduction for cut two:
Breaking the cycle of the pest complex is a major consideration, Nichols says.
Suggested introduction for cut three:
In his research, Nichols says, higher relative yields become evident in the third year after establishing a rotation system.
Suggested introduction for cut four:
Ensuring that you have sufficient resources to grow two crops in your area of the Cotton Belt is critical in the decision to rotate.
