Cotton Burrs Boost Next Year Cotton Yield
Soil Conservation Service reports 675 pounds burrs per bale and a ton valued at 7.65 dollars for nitrogen phosphorus and potassium. Spreading burrs on fields could add about 36 pounds lint per acre and potentially yield 1.5 million dollars in Dawson County in 1974. Burrs also protect land from wind erosion when applied at 3 to 5 tons per acre.
