Cover crops can provide many benefits, but producers might be reluctant to adopt them if they perceive an increased risk of water stress for the cash crop. Therefore, to increase
The earlier over crops (CCs) are planted, the higher the probability of greater biomass accumulation in the fall, owing to a greater growing degree day accumulation. This is also true
Winter-sensitive cover crop (CC) species are frost-killed during winter, which limits their growth to the fall. Winter-hardy CC species can survive winter temperatures and accumulate biomass in the fall and
