Best Rotations 70 Use.
While no recommendations can tie
given that will apply to all situations
and soil types, typical rotation that
can be modified 10 At any condition
is suggested. For land infested With
both wilt and root-knot the following
treatment has been successfully used
BY many farmers: BEGINNING In the
fall. SOW winter oats II they can be
gotten in early enough to make fair
