Grazing and cover crop effects on soil health during transition to organic production
Abstract The authors studied the efficacy of six objective‐based, reduced tillage cover cropping systems with or without livestock grazing to induce changes in soil condition and soil health on a fine sandy loam during the organic transition phase in the northern Great Plains.

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks
Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

Abstract The transition from conventional to more regenerative cropping systems can be economically risky due to variable transition period yields and unforeseen costs. We compared yields and economic returns for the first 3 years of the transition from a business as usual (BAU) conventional corn (Zea mays)–soybean (Glycine max) rotation to an ...
