Autumn Tillage Reduces the Effect of Plant Cover on Topsoil Nitrogen Leaching
Nitrogen, 2022 Keeping cover crops to reduce nitrogen leaching often conflicts with timing tillage operations before the soil becomes un-trafficable during winter, while leaving cover crops in the field until spring raises concerns over pre-emptive competition with the
