This study compares two treatments, a monoculture rye cover crop versus a cover crop mix. Soil health indicators, soil tests, and yield data are evaluated each year.

The purpose of this study was to better understand N management of corn following cover crops. Nitrogen was applied as urea broadcast at V6 at four rates: 0, 100, 175,
Organic no-till (NT) management strategies generally employ high-residue cover crops that act as weed-suppressing mulch. In temperate, humid regions such as the mid-Atlantic USA, high-residue winter cover crops can hinder
An experiment was established using a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates and 5 interseeding treatments.
• Extending and diversifying a crop rotation to include a small grain presents farmers with the opportunity to also include a forage legume that could possibly reduce the need for
Cover crops are gaining new attention for their ability to reduce weed pressure in soybeans. Specifically, when seeding soybeans directly into a thick cover crop. Farmer-cooperators Jack Boyer and Scott

A successful management strategy for corn and soybeans following a cereal rye cover crop may differ across farms in terms of tillage, N fertilizer application or both. Farmer-cooperators Jack Boyer,

Planting soybeans within one day of terminating a cereal rye cover crop does not reduce yield and can improve weed control compared to terminating the cover crop 10–14 days prior
Waiting to plant organic, no-till soybean until terminating cereal rye by roller-crimping delays planting to late May. To try to plant soybeans earlier in roll-crimped cereal rye, Scott Shriver planted
Based on previous on-farm research he has conducted,[1] Sam Bennett has seen evidence that a cereal rye cover crop can suppress weeds and reduce herbicide inputs in soybeans. As such,
While maximizing the benefits of cover crops requires extending their growing period, prolonging growth and delaying termination beyond the date of soybean emergence is not allowed under federal crop insurance

Chemical fallow is a widely adopted agronomic technique in the low precipitation dryland cropping systems of the Western U.S., including the Inland Pacific Northwest, as a risk management tool. Besides
