Notes on row headings
* Planting into freshly incorporated unweathered residues can lead to allelopathic effects.
** N fixation can be restricted by water stress and nodulation.
*** A crop will take up approximately twice the amount of N as that removed at harvest.
**** Average water requirements as a % of cotton usage These figures are a guide only. Note regional differences. Storage and transmission losses may significantly increase these values. ET = Evaporation and transpiration by plant.
