A tungsten tipped, depth adjustable twin row (or optional single chute) seed placement coulter capable of handling a wide variety of seeds then follows placing the seed. Covering discs follow and these simply re-direct soil over the seed before the final press wheels just firm the soil over the seed. ...
The experiment was arranged in a split-plot design with seeding patterns (flat-seeded and furrow-seeded) as main plots and mulching (with or without plastic mulching) as subplots. The effects of seeding patterns, mulching, and their interactions on root-zone salinity, soil temperature, stand establishment, and lint yield were ...
In this study the thermal dependence of malate synthase, an enzyme involved in cotton seedling lipid metabolism, was used to define the pattern and magnitude of thermal limitations and as the basis of a metabolic model to predict emergence under variable temperatures in the field. Soil temperature at seed depth was monitored over the cotton-planting season of ...
