Monitoring soil nitrate to estimate cover crop nitrogen contribution [PDF]
Organic vegetable growers rely on legume cover crops as an economical source of plant-available N. This research evaluated N contributions to summer vegetable crops by cover crops (CC) residues by monitoring soil nitrate (NO3-N) concentrations during the

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.

Grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems
Animal, 2021 Conventional agriculture is specializing rapidly into the management of few monoculture crops, threatening crop diversity and questioning the sustainability of extensive cropping systems. The grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems could be a feasible biologically based technology to restore crop diversity and mitigate ecological ...

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

Farmer perspectives about cover crops by non-adopters
Frontiers 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 ...

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