1. Nutrient Cycling Following Cover Crop Termination in Texas Cotton ProductionCover crop adoption on the Texas High Plains (THP) is severely limited compared to other agricultural regions in the U.S. Cotton producers on the THP consistently site water limitations as the primary reason for not implementing cover crops in their cropping systems. Previous research on the THP has shown that nitrogen immobilization following cover crop termination might be the most leading consequence of cover crops, not water availability. A study was initiated into existing long term... J.A. Burke, K.L. Lewis, J.L. Foster |
2. Relationship Between Plant Nitrogen and NDVI of Cotton on the Texas High PlainsNitrogen (N) is one of the most limiting factors in Texas High Plains cotton production (Bronson et al., 2001). Nitrogen build-up in cotton is near maximum for the season at first open boll, when leaf senescence begins (Li et al., 2001). Lint yield response to N is difficult to predict due to N response relying on water management and initial soil nitrate (NO3--N) (Morrow and Krieg, 1990). Normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) is a tool that has been used to manage... A. Bumguardner, K. Lewis, G. Ritchie, K. Bronson, M. Maeda |
3. Sustainable and Resilient Cropping Systems to Mitigate Wind Erosion for the Enhancement of Human HealthIn the Texas High Plains, regenerative cropping practices in a predominantly conventional farming area can be used to prevent further depletion of topsoil by wind erosion. This loss of topsoil can cause a decrease in agricultural productivity and form dust storms that can be detrimental to human health causing a rise in hospitalizations of chronic lung damage, cardiovascular disorders, and diseases contracted by inhalation. Using regenerative farming practices, both the number and size of dust... K. Lewis, R. Babcock, J. Burke, C. Cobos |
