Cover Crops and Cover Crop Mixes
2020The potential nutrient cycling benefits from legumes (e.g. N2-fixation) and the high biomass potential of cereal rye are well known. Further studies are warranted to evaluate bi-culture mixtures and their effects on soil nutrient stratification and microbial enzyme activity because these two properties may be differently expressed (enhanced) by legume ...

Throughout virtually all of the history of agriculture, the nitrogen harvested from cropped soils has been replenished, if it has been replenished at all, by leguminous nitrogen fixation. Although animal wastes, nonsymbiotic fixation, and atmospheric deposition can be significant sources of N, a large fraction of the first can be traced to legume ...

In different parts of the world when traditional management and planting methods are used, ploughing the soils which buries plant residue and leaves, the soil will remain naked and vulnerable to water and wind erosion process. The use of these cultivation methods in heavy sloped areas in the tropics and subtropics, undergoing heavy rainfall, has caused

This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on cover crops in agriculture. The first chapter describes the contribution of cover crops to improving soil health. The chapter reviews their key role e.g. supplying a food source for soil organisms, providing a source of carbon to help build soil organic matter, enhancing nutrient ...

The benefit of applying cover crop depends on farming practices including tillage and cropping systems, as well as land use such as wet paddy or upland fields. The following considerations are some important aspects for evaluating the economic and ecological benefits of cover crops: (1) reducing fertilizer consumption, (2) reducing the use of ...

The cover/green manure crops can be considered as the backbone for any annual cropping system to be sustainable. They are responsible for sustainable farming because of enhancement of organic matter, improvement of soil structure, nitrogen fixation, nutrient enhancement, rooting action, soil and water conservation, soil microbial activity, and pest ...
