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.

Impact of Cover Crops on the Soil Microbiome of Tree Crops [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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.

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.

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 ...

Grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems

open access: yesAnimal, 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

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

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 ...

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 ...
