Description:
This 1999 article published in the Journal of Cotton Science discusses a study conducted in Blackstone and Dothan-Norfolk, Virginia (USA) from 1995 to 1997. Cotton crops in this area may not produce enough crop residue to reduce erosion and protect soil between crops. Consequently, the objectives of the study were to evaluate selected cover crops in terms of biomass production, percentage ground cover, and aboveground nitrogen assimilation.
