Comparing cover crop research in farmer-led and researcher-led experiments in the Western Corn Belt
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023 Cover crops can mitigate soil degradation and nutrient loss and can be used to achieve continuous living cover in cropping systems, although their adoption in the Western Corn Belt of the United States remains low.

Is Harvesting Cover Crops for Hay Profitable When Planting Corn and Soybean in Tennessee?
Agronomy, 2022 Winter cover crops can improve the soil’s moisture-holding capacity, reduce soil water evaporation, and mitigate water-induced soil erosion; however, economic studies show mixed results on cover crop impacts on profits.

Impact of Cover Crops on the Soil Microbiome of Tree Crops [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Increased concerns associated with interactions between herbicides, inorganic fertilizers, soil nutrient availability, and plant phytotoxicity in perennial tree crop production systems have renewed interest in the use of cover crops in the inter-row middles or between trees as an alternative sustainable management strategy for these systems.

Short‐term impacts of cover crops in maritime potato (Solanum tuberosum) systems
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022 Cover cropping is a soil conservation practice widely investigated in agronomic crops, but less is known about cover crop implications in specialty cropping systems, particularly in a high disturbance system like potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).
