There are several problems that can be associated with planting cotton into cover crops. These would include increased seedling diseases, soil moisture problems, poor seed placement, and increased insect pressure. These problems often can be avoided when burndown occurs early enough to effectively kill the cover crops. Use of row cleaners at planting often help ensure a cleaner seed bed with improved seed placement.
