4 Introduction The Texs A&M University System purchsed 373 cres of frmlnd from the estte of Ardell Helm in December, 1999, for the sole purpose of conducting lrge scle reserch nd extension progrms to enhnce producer profitbility nd sustinbility in n irrigted environment. The frm is locted 2 miles south of the Texs A&M AgriLife Reserch nd Extension Center t Hlfwy in Hle County. Current projects t the Helm Reserch Frm involve production options nd economics of Subsurfce drip irrigtion (SDI). Other reserch projects include weed nd insect control, plnt breeding nd yield trils for severl commodities nd production systems projects. Irrigted experiments were conducted under the 130 cre center pivot nd on 86-cres of SDI. The soils re predominntly deep cly loms nd silty cly loms, with 0-1% nd 1-3% slopes, modertely to modertely slowly permeble subsoils nd high wter nd fertility holding cpcities. Supplementl wter for irrigtion comes from five wells, 320 to 340 feet deep, pumping t rtes of 150 to 250 gllons per minute ech 3
5 Cotton Irrigtion Timing Using Subsurfce Drip Irrigtion (SDI) (Field 2). Jmes Bordovsky, Joe Mustin, nd Csey Hrdin Objective: Determine cotton lint yield, wter use efficiency nd reltive wter vlue of three irrigtion timing tretments using subsurfce drip irrigtion. Methodology: The primry reserch question reltes to efficiency of soil profile irrigtion storge when subsurfce drip irrigtion (SDI) is pplied erly in the growing seson t times when irrigtion cpcity is greter thn crop ET. This field study ws irrigted with SDI hving 30-in. dripline spcing nd focused on three irrigtion timing tretments replicted in RCB design. Tretments were: T1 - miniml irrigtion for plnt estblishment, no irrigtion during vegettive period, 0.15 in/dy rte during reproductive nd mturtion periods; T2 - irrigtion t 0.15 in/dy rte during preplnt for up to 30 dys, no irrigtion during vegettive period, 0.15 in/dy rte during reproductive nd mturtion periods; nd T3 - Figure 1. Instlltion of subsurfce drip irrigtion for experiments t the Helm Reserch Frm, Hlfwy, TX. miniml irrigtion for plnt estblishment, 0.15 in/dy rte during vegettive, reproductive, nd mturtion periods. A tretment hving sufficient irrigtion for plnt estblishment with no further sesonl irrigtion (drylnd) ws lso included. Cotton ws grown nd tests hrvested with commercil hrvesting equipment. Yields, fiber qulity, nd wter productivity from the different tretments were determined. Results: On June 2, following hil nd wind events tht destroyed the first plnting, cotton ws replnted with DeltPine 1219 B2RF t 54,000 seeds/c. Annul rinfll ws higher thn norml up to the second plnting (> 16 inches) which msked the effects of preplnt irrigtions of T2. Additionl rin during the vegettive period prevented irrigtion during tht period in T1, therefore T1 nd T3 becme identicl tretments. Tretments resulted in low cotton yields rnging from 791 to 889 lb/c with no significnt differences (Tble 1). Irrigtion WUE ws greter for T1 nd T3 where preplnt irrigtion ws not pplied thn for T2.

6 Cotton Response to Pre-plnt nd Erly Seson Irrigtion Amounts with SDI (Field 3). Jmes Bordovsky, Joe Mustin nd Csey Hrdin Objective: Determine cotton lint yield nd wter use efficiency of pre-plnt nd erly seson irrigtion tretments using SDI. Methodology: The proposed study quntifies differences in wter productivity of SDI cotton during irrigtion periods hving the highest evportion losses in the Texs South Plins. Tretment fctors included pre-plnt irrigtion quntity nd erly seson irrigtion cpcity resulting in six tretments in ddition to "pre-plnt only" check (Tble 1). SDI lterls were spced 60 in. prt with ech irrigting 2 30-in. crop rows. Due to poor plnt stnds cused by hevy rins nd hil, cotton ws replnted on 2 June. Results: Continued rin in June nd July eliminted the need for irrigtion during the vegettive nd much of the reproductive periods nd reduced or eliminted plnned irrigtions. Tretment T1 ws modified to provide 3.6 inches of sesonl irrigtion, tretments T2 nd T3 were irrigted identiclly using 2.3 inches of irrigtion, nd tretments T4, T5 nd T6 were irrigted identiclly using 4 inches of irrigtion (Tble 1). Hil nd hevy rin on 28 August resulted in the termintion of dditionl irrigtions. Results re in Tble 2. The only significnt tretment difference occurred in the yields of the T0 tretment (no irrigtion, 590 lb/c) compred to tretments receiving sesonl irrigtion ( lb/c); nd in the sesonl irrigtion wter use efficiencies (SIWUE) where tretments receiving lower sesonl irrigtions (T2 nd T3) resulted in higher SIWUEs compred to other tretments.

7 Effects of Crop Rottion, Tillge, nd Irrigtion on Soil Aggregte Distribution (Field 5ef) Ktie Lewis, Dustin Kelley, Joseph Burke, nd Jmes Bordovsky Objective: Evlute the cumultive effects of crop rottion, tillge, nd irrigtion level on soil bulk density nd ggregte formtion. Methodology: Soil smples were collected t depth (0-6, 6-12, nd inches) in Jnury 2016 from cropping systems (continuous cotton, sorghum following cotton, nd cotton following sorghum) under reduced nd conventionl tillge nd irrigtion levels of 1.5*bse irrigtion (BI) nd 0.5*BI. Soil smples were dried t 105 C for 72 hours. Dry weights were recorded. An liquot (100 g) of ech smple ws seprted into size frctions, including lrge mcroggregtes (4 mm - 2 mm), smll mcroggregtes (2 mm mm), microggregtes (0.25 mm mm), nd silt nd cly (<0.053 mm). After sieving frction weights were recorded nd used to clculte ggregte men weight dimeter (MWD). Results: The men weight dimeter is commonly used to express ggregte stbility s it determines the size distribution of ggregtes nd is essentilly mesure of mcro-ggregte stbility s ffected by soil mngement prctices. Within the 0-6 soil depth, MWD ws generlly greter under reduced tillge regrdless of crop rottion or irrigtion level (Fig. 1). The lower irrigtion level consistently resulted in smller MWD. This is most likely due to less biomss produced both bove- nd below-ground nd reduced microbil ctivity. Similr trends were observed t 6-12 (Fig. 1b); however, MWD differences between reduced nd conventionl tillge were not s gret t the deeper soil depth. Figure 1.

8 The Effect of Crop Rottion, Irrigtion Rte, nd Tillge on Verticillium Wilt (Field 5cde) Terry Wheeler, Jmes Bordovsky, nd Wyne Keeling, Texs A&M AgriLife Reserch Objective: Evlute the effects of crop rottions, irrigtion levels, nd tillge on Verticillium Wilt. Methodology: A lrge scle cropping systems/irrigtion project ws initited in Verticillium wilt ws found t the test site in 2007 nd hs continued to impct cotton yield since then. For 13 yers, prt of the circle ws involved with 2-yr cotton nd 1-yr sorghum rottion (CCS), nd prt of the circle ws in continuous cotton (CCC). There were three irrigtion rtes, bse (medium rte), nd 50% bove nd below this bse rte. In 2010, some res in CCC were plced in cotton/sorghum rottion (CS). Strting in 2014 nd continuing in 2015, new cotton rottion system ws initited (whet/fllow rotted with cotton, WC), nd compred ginst CS nd CCC, with nd without whet cover. However, the originl CCC re ws rotted to sorghum due to its high disese levels nd terrible cotton yields, nd two new CCC res were designted (they hd previously been in long-term CCS, nd hd reltively low levels of Verticillium wilt compred to the previous CCC wedge). In ddition, tillge system comprison ws initited with conventionl tillge nd beds versus reduced tillge nd flt ground. Ech yer, soil smples were tken in the winter to monitor Verticillium dhlie (the fungus tht cuses Verticillium wilt) spore levels in the soil, nd wilt incidence ws mesured during the growing seson. Results: There were moderte to high densities of Verticillium dhlie in the soil before plnting in 2015, with the higher densities ssocited with the wedges tht hd originlly been in long-term cotton rottion (Tble 1). However, Verticillium wilt ws the lowest in ll the yers tht it hd been mesured (Fig. 1). Though wether, prticulrly in August impcts how severe the disese is, it is not well understood why there ws so little wilt in The temperture nd soil moisture were not highly conducive for wilt, but they lso weren t tht limiting either. Figure 2 shows the temperture nd moisture mesured in vrious plots t the Helms field in 2014 (verge wilt = 15%), nd 2015 (verge wilt = 1%). Tble 1.

Methodology: These results re prt of comprehensive crop rottion-tillge-irrigtion study being conducted on 125 cres irrigted by LEPA. In this 22-cre test re, continuous cotton hs been grown since Two tillge systems, conventionl tillge (in pivot spns 4, 6, nd 8) nd reduced tillge (in spns 3, 5, nd 7), were used. Specific field opertions for ech tillge method re detiled in the ttched ppendix. In ddition, ech pivot spn ws divided into three sections with ech section delivering one of three irrigtion quntities (or levels) to the soil surfce below. The irrigtion levels were designte s bse irrigtion rte (1.0BI); 50% of bse rte (0.5BI); nd 150% of bse rte (1.5BI). The pivot irrigtion cpcity t 1.0BI meets pproximtely 60% ET of cotton in yers of verge rinfll. Specific irrigtions, cotton vrieties, pesticides, nd nutrient pplictions re listed in the ppendix. Results: 2015 nnul rinfll exceed 36 inches, twice the long term verge t this loction. Cooler tempertures, blowing snd, nd hil lso occurred. Although cotton ws not replnted, the crop ws injured nd developed slowly resulting in lower thn verge production nd inconclusive results. Totl sesonl irrigtions were pproximtely 1.9, 3.6 nd 5.3 inches in the three respective irrigtion tretment res of ech pivot spn. Cotton yields were greter (p<0.05) in the conventionl thn in the reduced tilled res t the 0.5BI nd 1.0BI irrigtion levels (Figure 1). Conventionlly tilled, irrigted yields were only slightly higher thn non-irrigted yields. Fiber qulity s reflected in the lint lon price resulted in no significnt differences due to tillge tretments nd generlly declined with incresed sesonl irrigtion (Figure 2) Continuous Cotton, 2015 Conv Till Reduced Till b b Continuous Cotton, 2015 Conv Till Reduced Till BI 0.5BI 1.0BI 1.5BI Irrigtion Tretment BI 0.5BI 1.0BI 1.5BI Irrigtion Tretment Figure 1.

Methodology: Irrigtions were t bse (M), 1.5x bse (H), nd 0.5x bse (L) levels. See ppendix. Results: Twelve FiberMx nd Stoneville vrieties including commercil nd experimentls were plnted under three levels of subsurfce drip irrigtion in Due to much bove-verge rinfll, in-seson irrigtion mounts were only 1.34, 1.95, nd 2.59 /A for the three irrigtion levels, respectively. Excessive erly-seson rinfll resulted in less thn idel cotton stnds, nd slowed erly-seson growth. When verged cross vrieties, yields rnged from 918 to 1346 lbs lint/a, with higher yields t ech irrigtion level. When verged cross irrigtion level, yield differences were determined between vrieties. The three experimentls produced yields similr to the highest yielding commercil vriety. Irrigtion level or vriety did not ffect lon vlue.

17 Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer On Cotton Flehopper Dmge Potentil nd Crop Response to Injury M.N. Prjulee, A. Hkeem, C.K. Dhkl, S.D. Coyle, S.C. Crroll, J.P. Bordovsky Objective: The objective ws to evlute the effect of nitrogen fertilizer ppliction rtes on cotton flehopper dmge potentil nd cotton s response to flehopper injury. Methodology: A high-yielding FiberMx cultivr, FM 9180B2F, ws plnted t trgeted rte of 54,000 seeds/cre on My 18, The experiment ws split-plot rndomized block design with five nitrogen fertility rte tretments s min plot, two insect ugmenttion tretments s sub-plots, nd five replictions. The five min-plot tretments included pre-bloom side-dress pplictions of ugmented nitrogen fertilizer rtes of 0, 50, 100, 150, nd 200 lbs N/cre using soil pplictor injection rig on July 16. Pre-tretment soil smples (consisting of three soil cores; 0 to 24-inch depth), were collected from ech of the 25 experiment plots on June 26. Two 10-ft. sections of uniform cotton were flgged in the middle two rows of ech 16-row min-plot tht served s two insect tretment sub-plots. The sub-plot tretment included two cotton flehopper tretments (5 dults per plnt vs. no flehopper s control), contined in multiplnt cges, within designted row sections pplied to ech of the five nitrogen rtes two weeks into cotton squring (July 21), the most criticl phenologicl stge of cotton for flehopper mngement in the Texs High Plins, to simulte n cute infesttion of cotton flehoppers. Crop growth nd fruiting ptterns were monitored during the crop seson. Results: Two weeks into squring, experimentl plnts hd pproximtely 9 squres per plnt. Cotton flehoppers induced ~25% squre bscission cross ll N tretments (Fig. 1). All N ugmented plots hd higher lint yields thn on zero N plots, but the crop response to vrition in N level ws not well defined (Fig. 2). Combined over ll N tretments, the cute infesttion of flehoppers rendered the lint yield reduction from 910 lb/cre in the control to 877 lb/cre in flehopper plots. Lint yield ws not significntly ffected by ~25% flehopper-induced squre loss t both zero N nd 200 lb/cre plots, either vi pruning of undesirble fruit lod (zero N) or compenstion (200 lb N). On the other hnd, lint yield ws significntly lower in flehopper ugmented 100 lb/cre plots compred to tht in uninfested plots, clerly suggesting tht the plnt response to cotton flehopper injury is gretly influenced by the vilbly of nitrogen fertility. Fig. 1. Per plnt squre lod t the time of cotton flehopper ugmenttion (top pnel) nd percent squre bscission (bottom pnel) in control versus flehopper ugmented tretments, s influenced by vrible rtes of nitrogen ppliction, Fig. 2.
