Cover crops as a weed seed bank management tool: A soil down review

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2021
This review explores ways that cover crops alter soil environmental conditions that can be used to decrease seed survival, maintain weed seed dormancy, and reduce germination cues, thus reducing above-ground weed pressures.

Utilization of the neighborhood design to evaluate suitable cover crops and their density for Echinochloa colona management.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Summer weed species, including Echinochloa colona, are becoming problematic in the eastern grain region of Australia, but cover crops can be useful to suppress weeds during the summer fallow period.

Reaction of Winter Cover Crops to Meloidogyne enterolobii and Glasshouse Bioassay for Evaluating Utility in Managing M. enterolobii in Soybeans

Journal of Nematology, 2023
Meloidogyne enterolobii is an invasive and highly aggressive root-knot nematode pathogen impacting the Southeastern United States. Winter cover cropping may be a cost-effective method for reducing populations of M.

Soil bacterial community response to cover crops, cover crop termination, and predicted climate conditions in a dryland cropping system

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Soil microbial communities are integral to highly complex soil environments, responding to changes in aboveground plant biodiversity, influencing physical soil structure, driving nutrient cycling, and promoting both plant growth and disease suppression ...

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 ...

Energy cover crops for biogas production increase soil organic carbon stocks: A modeling approach

GCB Bioenergy, 2023
Energy cover crops for biogas production through anaerobic digestion (AD) are inserted between two primary crops. They replace either bare soil or nonharvested cover crops, and their management is usually intensified to produce more biomass.

Cover Crop Management on the Southern High Plains: Impacts on Crop Productivity and Soil Water Depletion

Animals, 2021
The imminent depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer demands innovative cropping alternatives. Even though the benefits of cover crops are well recognized, adoption has been slow in the Southern High Plains (SHP) of the United States because of concerns that ...

Research Update on Cover Crops and Nematicides

EDIS, 2021
Two field experiments were initiated in January 2019 to evaluate the efficacy of nematicides and cover crops for managing the sting nematode (Belonolaimus longicaudatus) in a replanted grove affected by huanglongbing (HLB).
