Cover crops offer many potential benefits to crop production. They diversify the plant system, increase soil organic matter, and reduce erosion. However, they can be expensive to plant. By grazing
The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of cover crops and different fertilizer management techniques on the amount of nutrients being removed and recycled in the soil
Cover crops offer potential benefits for improving soil health, but establishment and management costs can be expensive. One way for farmers to recover these costs is to graze the forage,
Agriculture in Kansas and the Great Plains faces many sustainability challenges. Cover cropping is a practice that can affect sustainability by improving soil health parameters in some environments, but more
Palmer amaranth and horseweed areproblematic weedsin no-till soybeans in Kansas. Integrating cover crops and herbicide programs could suppress weed populations.
This study aimed to (i) determine the long-term effects of no-till with CCs and varying nitrogen (N)rates on subsequent sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] yield and yield components, (ii) assess
Cover crops have numerous benefits and while cover crops have been used for centuries, currently there are few producers in Kansas growing them, so there is a need for additional
Farmers reported that in 63 of 70 site-years, properly managed cover crops had little to no negative effect on corn and soybean yield (and actually increased soybean yield in 10
Seeding Technique and Date Effect on Cover Crop Establishment. The highboy seeding technique allows for an early seeding date that resulted in additional cover crop growth when compared to the
Seeding Technique and Date Effect on Cover Crop Establishment. The highboy seeding technique allows for an early seeding date that resulted in additional cover crop growth when compared to the
Soil compaction and lack of fence are often identified by farmers as the two major barriers to grazing cover crops. While soil compaction can reduce crop productivity, issues can be

Interseeding cover crops to corn at the V4 stage has gained attention for its potential to foster successful diverse species mixes and generate more biomass than a fall-seeded cover
