Cover crop use is increasing in the Pacific Northwest, but information is not readily available on the growth potential, biomass production, adaptability, and bloom period of warm season cover crop
In Coastal Plain soils, low levels of carbon and soil organic matter in the soils lead to a range of crop production problems including high disease rates, low yields, compacted
There is an increased interest in sunn hemp entries as a cover crop for sugarcane production in southern Louisiana. Incorporating sunn hemp into a sugarcane cropping system can control soil
In the Southeastern U.S., data on potential cover crops are lacking compared to other regions and the information available pertains to warm-season cover crop species used for forage or grain/seed
In this session, Matthew Ryan (Cornell University) discusses the necessity of proper establishment timing and seeding rates for maximizing cover crop performance. He explains how knowledge of the interaction between
Warm season cover crops have the potential to fill fallow periods between vegetable crops, after field crop harvest, or act as living mulches in cash crop plantings. Substantial research has
