Overview

This 2-page factsheet discusses a study conducted to evaluate the synergies between conservation tillage and irrigation management.

Irrigation is an important resource for production agriculture, accounting for more than 40 percent of harvested cotton in the Texas Rolling Plains, although comprising only about 15 percent of planted cotton acres. Synergies between conservation tillage and irrigation management have not been well quantified. This factsheet describes a study to determine the effect of irrigation frequency on cotton production and economic viability in conservation tillage systems. (2 pages)
