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
Wisconsin growers are increasingly interested in utilizing cover crops. While cover crop establishment is relatively easy following corn silage, small grains, and processing vegetables, establishing cover crops successfully following corn
Cover crops have the potential to provide many soil health and crop production benefits, but their success depends upon selection and use of species and varieties adapted to the local

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.
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
