A UW-Madison agronomist talks about interseeding research results. He discusses how he successfully used a modified no till drill for corn, and why soybeans provided too much shade to be
Cover crop establishment following processed vegetable culture in Western Oregon is a challenge because harvest often occurs late into the fall. Soil may already be saturated from fall rains, and
The main objectives of this multi-year project were to: 1) Evaluate how planting times, seeding rates, and seeding equipment affected multi-species cover crop establishment. 2) Investigate three different cover crop
Cover crop establishment in late-season crops, like sweet corn, may be difficult due to the relatively short operational window following crop harvest. In regions like western Oregon, where fall-precipitation can
This project will develop and evaluate new cover crop planting strategies to improve cover crop establishment after late harvested crops. Cover crops add organic matter to the soil, improve soil
A trial was established to evaluate the soybean yield response to interseeding cover crops into growing soybean compared to soybean yield without interseeding cover crops (control). Four treatments of cover
Nutrient losses and soil erosion after soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) harvest are common in the US Upper Midwest. Cover crops need to provide adequate growth and cover to prevent
Multiple studies reported to the Midwest Cover Crop Council showing best practices for cover crop use in North Dakota row crop operations.
Winter cover crops provide a suite of benefits but their use is limited because there is often not enough time after harvesting crops in the fall to establish cover crops
A field experiment was conducted at three sites (New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland) in 2016 to test the effects of drill interseeding a cover crop mixture consisting of cereal rye
An increasing number of growers are integrating cover crops into their cropping systems with goals of reducing erosion, increasing soil health properties, adding/capturing nitrogen, grazing livestock, or aiding in weed
Upper Midwest inter-seeding study conducted to evaluate the establishment and growth of a variety of cover crop monocultures and mixtures across multiple environments and their effect on maize growth and
The purpose of this project is to evaluate a novel cover crop interseeder technology, which allows growers to drill cover crops into a standing soybean crop. This practice could transform
This article reports on field experiments that addressed two primary objectives: (1) compare cover crop establishment and biomass production of drill-interseeded grass and legume cover crops and corn performance across
The mid-Atlantic region has the highest percentage of arable acreage in cover crops in the United States, with some reports placing Maryland and Delaware as the two states with the
Case study of a Maine cattle and forage farmer using No-Till and cover crops in his Corn Silage – Hay rotations.
Cover crops are typically sown between cash crops and can suppress weed emergence and growth. If cover crops are sown after cash crop harvest the system is left susceptible to
Interseeding cover crops to corn at the V4 stage has gained attention for its potential to foster successful diverse species mixes and generate more biomass than a fall-seeded cover
Interseeding cover crops to corn at the V4 stage has gained attention for its potential to foster successful diverse species mixes and generate more biomass than a fall-seeded cover crop.
