Summary

An experiment was carried out on a heavy red yellow latosol to evaluate crop rotation on herbaceous cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum) yields in no-till system under rainfed Savannah conditions. The treatments were: soyabean-millet ( Pennisetum glaucum)-soyabean-millet-cotton; soyabean-amaranth ( Amaranthus hypochondriacus)-soyabean-forage radish-soyabean-cotton; soyabean-grain sorghum ( Sorghum vulgare [ S. bicolor])-soyabean-grain sorghum-cotton; soyabean-black rye ( Avena strigosa [ A. nuda])-soyabean-black rye-cotton and soyabean-soyabean-cotton. The highest cotton seed yield and best weed control were recorded in the sequence soyabean-millet-soyabean-millet-cotton.
