Evaluating the potential for snowmelt phosphorus losses from perennial forage crops
Abstract In cold regions, there is concern that losses of P with snowmelt runoff following freeze and thaw of vegetation may be greater from perennial forages relative to annual crops. We evaluate the drivers of P losses with snowmelt runoff over a network of field‐scale small watersheds in Manitoba, Canada, following annual crops (59 site‐years ...

Integrating livestock and cropping systems: Interseeding cereal rye into corn for grazing
Abstract Interseeding annual forages into growing corn may be an alternative for both cover and grazing in temperate regions of the United States. A 4‐year experiment evaluated the effect of interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale) into corn for grazing after harvest on corn grain, forage biomass yield and quality, soil health, and estimated spatial ...
