e0“A three year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of soil inversion, cover crops and spring tillage methods for Palmer amaranth between-row (BR) and within-row (WR) management in glufosinate-resistant cotton”
e6“The highest cotton yields were obtained with DD following cereal rye (2251 kg ha−1), DD following crimson clover (2213 kg ha−1) and DD following winter fallow (2153 kg ha−1)”

Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Fall inversion tillage reduced Palmer amaranth density two- to four-fold compared with non-inversion tillage.
- Intervention effect Crimson clover and cereal rye cover crops reduced Palmer amaranth density two-fold compared with winter fallow at 2 WAP.
- Intervention effect Disking-based spring tillage reduced early season Palmer amaranth densities by 40% compared with fall inversion tillage.
- Intervention effect After fall inversion tillage, no spring tillage method improved Palmer amaranth control.
- Intervention effect Cereal rye or crimson clover cover crops effectively reduced early season Palmer amaranth emergence in both inversion and non-inversion systems.
- Intervention effect The glufosinate + S-metolachlor POST tank mixture greatly improved Palmer amaranth control in both IT and NIT systems.
- Intervention effect Fall inversion tillage gave 21% higher cotton yield than non-inversion tillage.
- Observation Disking followed by disking after cereal rye gave the highest cotton yield, 2251 kg ha−1.
- Observation Disking followed by disking after crimson clover gave cotton yield of 2213 kg ha−1.
- Observation Crimson clover produced maximum cover biomass, 4390 kg ha−1.
- Observation Cereal rye produced cover biomass of 3698 kg ha−1.
- Observation Winter fallow produced cover biomass of 777 kg ha−1.
- Recommendation An occasional fall inversion tillage could greatly reduce Palmer amaranth emergence on highly infested farms.
- Recommendation Effective and season-long control of Palmer amaranth may need one or more POST applications of glufosinate plus residual herbicide as a tank mixture.
