Fungi in the genus Metarhizium are insect pathogens that can establish as endophytes and can benefit their host plant. In field experiments, a positive correlation between the prevalence of M.
As more farmers adopt no- or reduced-tillage and/or cover crop land management practices, slugs have become more frequent pests of field crops, including soybean. Monitoring slugs visually is difficult because
The effects of winter cover crops on root disease and growth of corn and soybeans are poorly understood. A 3-year field experiment investigated the effect of winter cereal rye (Secale
We conducted a two-year, four-season field experiment on the potential of various cover crops during the summer seasons of both years, followed by monocultures of cash crops during winters. We

An increasing number of growers are ‘planting green’ or have asked questions regarding this practice. ‘Planting green’ means the corn or soybean is planted directly into a growing cover crop
In drought conditions there is less residue than normal in many fields. In some, the crop was harvested as a forage or cut as silage, leaving very little residue at
Fields that were hailed, flooded, wind-blown, or where planting was prevented this season need cover crops for all of these reasons since a growing crop isn’t achieving these purposes now.
It can be difficult to find information on which herbicide(s) to use or avoid for certain cover crops, especially when planning to use the cover crop for forage or feed
Researchers at UNL are working on a new study funded by the Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Soybean Board to investigate the effects of integrating cover crops into soybean and
We summarized the current state of knowledge of CC e ects on soil C stocks, soil erosion, physical properties, soil water, nutrients, microbial properties, weed control, crop yields, expanded uses,
Short‐season cover cropping can be an important weed management tool. To optimize the use of mustard [Sinapis alba L. and Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] in the Great Lakes region, we
Across the Pacific Northwest, a movement is afoot to reduce synthetic chemical fumigants in the production of the region’s massive potato crop. In a region where farmers once stock-piled barrels
Farmers are using several types of mustard for their ability to build soil quality and to suppress soilborne diseases, nematodes, and weeds. Described here are the practices typically used by
One alternative method for flatheaded borer management investigated here is the use of cover crops to camouflage or otherwise make the tree crop an undesirable host for borer eggs. This
The use of biofumigant cover crops is a newer area of research in woody ornamental nursery production that has been previously explored most extensively inrow crop, vegetable, fruit, and flower
