Opportunities and Challenges for Cover Cropping in Sustainable Agriculture Systems in Southern Australia

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
Southern Australian farming systems operate predominantly under Mediterranean climatic conditions, which limit the choice of cover crops suitable for enhancement of ground cover and soil moisture retention, erosion control, atmospheric soil nitrogen (N ...

Is Harvesting Cover Crops for Hay Profitable When Planting Corn and Soybean in Tennessee?

open access: yesAgronomy, 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.

Cover crops and preemergence herbicides: An integrated approach for weed management in corn-soybean systems in the US Midwest

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy, 2022
Adoption of a fall established, high biomass cereal rye cover crop has potential to diversify weed management in corn and soybean production systems, reducing the selection pressure for resistance to postemergence herbicides.

Soybean Relative Maturity, Not Row Spacing, Affected Interseeded Cover Crops Biomass

open access: yesAgriculture, 2021
Adoption of cover crop interseeding in the northwestern Corn Belt in the USA is limited due to inadequate fall moisture for establishment, short growing season, additional costs, and need for adapted winter-hardy species. This study evaluated three cover

Cereal rye cover crop terminated at crop planting reduces early‐season weed density and biomass in Wisconsin corn–soybean production

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022
A fall‐established cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop has potential to provide weed suppression in fields that will be planted with corn (Zea mays L.) and/or soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], reducing the selection pressure for herbicide ...

Dual and Triple Intercropping: Potential Benefits for Annual Green Manure Production

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2014
Greater species diversity in natural ecosystems increases plant biomass production and stability. Intercropping is an agricultural practice that aims to accrue the benefits of species diversity by growing two or more species simultaneously in the same ...

Farmer perspectives about cover crops by non-adopters

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
The SARE/CTIC national farmer survey has assessed farmer experiences and perceptions about cover crops six times from early 2013 to early 2020. In most years, approximately 2,000 farmers responded to the survey questions, a majority of which were cover ...

Impact of the Timing and Use of an Insecticide on Arthropods in Cover-Crop-Corn Systems

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Cover crops provide a habitat for pests and beneficial arthropods. Unexpected pest pressure in a cover-crop-to-corn system can occur and result in increased use of insecticides.
