1. The Effects of Manure Applications on Cotton Yield and Soil Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Texas High PlainsThe cost of inorganic fertilizer is continually rising, which has caused an increased interest in alternative solutions. Along with fertilizer prices increasing, carbon emissions are following the same trend. There is an upcoming demand for organic fertilizer and carbon research. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of various manure applications on crop growth and greenhouse gas emissions in three different cropping systems in the Texas High Plains. The no-tillage cropping systems... T. Roberts, K. Lewis |
2. Evaluating the Profitability of Nitrogen Management Strategies to Increase Yield in Regenerative Cotton Production SystemsSoil health management practices, such as cover crops and no-till systems, are common in semi-arid cropping systems to reduce wind erosion. However, implementing these practices can also lower cotton yield. As a result, cotton production using no-till and cover crop systems in semi-arid environments tends to be less profitable than conventional systems, despite lower costs from fewer tillage operations during the growing season. For these soil health practices to be economically sustainable in... A. Wright, J. Burke, K. Lewis, W. Keeling, W. Keeling |
