Clover Planted as a Cover Crop in Cotton Stubble

Caption

Clover peeks out among the residual stalks of harvested cotton crop in a research plot at a University of Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center in West Tennessee. Clover is among the cover crops planted following cotton harvest to help preserve soils and restore fertility. The particular plot shown was part of a long-term study started 29 years ago by UT's renown soil scientist the late Don Tyler.
