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

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
Subsurface drainage is an essential water management practice for many poorly drained soils in the U.S. Midwest, but this practice also contributes nitrate-N loads to surface waters. This paper summarizes
Currently, most of the available information on potential warm-season legumes for use as cover crops in the southeastern U.S. has been culled from research on using these species as forage,
