“…1) Clemson Interseeder/planter: The interseeding system [16] was modified to plant wheat and later interseed cotton, soybeans, or peanuts into standing wheat rows. The new no-till drill/planter ( Figure 1) was constructed using four major components: a) three-point hitch assembly with forks to support seeding units that are attached to the toolbar, b) an air applicator for metering the seed, c) dual toolbars for mounting of seed openers and depth/drive wheels, and d) the seed opening mechanisms.…”

“…The double-cropping system developed at Clemson University allows interseeding or planting of a summer crop, such as soybean, cotton, or peanut into a second winter crop, such as winter wheat, approximately 2 -3 weeks before harvest of the second crop [16] [17]. This system has the potential to mitigate all the production problems discussed previously.…”

Cotton growers in the southern USA are facing new production problems that are reducing farm profits and sustainability: 1) herbicide-resistant weeds are spreading throughout the Southeast, 2) thrips are consistently ranked as an important insect pest group Beltwide, 3) the most effective tool for managing nematodes and thrips (aldicarb) currently is only available in the southeastern USA in limited amounts, and 4) fuel costs have increased significantly over the last ten years. An interseeding system was developed at Clemson University that allows planting of cotton into standing wheat, about 2 -3 weeks before wheat harvest. This system, which combines benefits of crop residue and minimum tillage operations, has the potential to alleviate many of the production problems cited above, while enhancing farm profits and soil properties. Crop residue associated with the interseeding production system reduced weed populations and required significantly less herbicide inputs compared with the conventional system. Columbia lance nematodes populations were reduced in the interseeding system by 83% without an application of nematicide. Populations of thrips were reduced by 74% in the interseeding production system. No differences were observed between the yields from interseeded and the conventional full-season cotton. However, revenues from the interseeding system were higher due to harvest of the wheat crop. In addition, the interseeding system consumed 35% less fuel than the conventional production systems.
