UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LEGUME COVER CROP TRIAL EWING DEMONSTRATION CENTER 2015-16
The East Texas Plant Materials Center (ETPMC) is working jointly with the US Forest Service (USFS) and East Texas Natives to develop a locally adapted swamp sunflower ecotype for use
Evaluation of growth characteristics and production attributes of commercially available varieties/cultivars and local sources of selected cover crops identified by NRCS State Agronomists/Soil Health Contacts and PMC staff. This study
Cool season cover crops provide multiple benefits between cash crops, including suppressing weeds, reducing erosion, adding nitrogen, increasing organic matter and improving soil health. Numerous varieties of cover crop species
Cool season, annual grasses and legumes have multiple benefits as a cover crop for soil conservation and soil health, livestock forage and wildlife habitat improvement. Success of the planting depends
Grain farmers of Spokane and Lincoln Counties, WA, want to improve soil health on their land without compromising cash crops that are proven for this area, which depends heavily on
Cover crop benefits include nitrogen accumulation and retention, weed suppression, organic matter maintenance, and reduced erosion. Organic farmers need region-specific information on winter cover crop performance to effectively integrate cover
Take a look at how we bring the textbook definition of soil health to real-life agriculture using cover crops following corn silage. Brian reviews the cover crop in the spring
Take a look at how a cover crop grows in the fall, both above and below ground. Plant root depth and soil benefits are shown and discuss. Brian compares ‘no

There is growing interest in the use of short-season summer annual legumes or grasses as cover crops and green manures in vegetable production systems. Cover crops can provide a significant
Cover crops improve soil health and environmental quality by enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and nutrient cycling in agroecosystems. This study evaluated the effect of cover crops on soil
This is a study of cover crop mixes (CCMs) grown during the fallow period on soil properties, water use, and wheat yield. CCMs included plant groups that 1) fix
