Global agricultural and food systems face the challenge of feeding a growing world population in the face of finite and diminishing resources. To guide the redesign of agricultural systems, farmers
Cool-season cover crops have been shown to reduce soil erosion and nutrient discharge from maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production systems. However, their effects on
In addition to soil health and conservation benefits, cover crops (CCs) may offer weed control in the midwestern United States, but individual studies report varying effects. We conducted a meta‐analysis
A cover crop is a crop grown to improve the soil, repress weeds, or benefit subsequent crops grown in rotation. It is not intended to be harvested or grazed, although
Motivated by a variety of concerns (e.g., spiraling input costs, compaction, root health, extreme weather events, USDA conservation program payments), farmer interest in cover crops has grown dramatically in the
Winter rye was grown at the Allison Farm with the expectations that it would benefit our organic operation in several ways including soil and nutrient conservation, soil tilth, and weed
Current recommendations for the control of glyphosate-resistant horseweed [Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronquist var. canadensis] in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] consist of comprehensive herbicide programs, which often include herbicide applications
Discover the why of cover crops with local Arkansas grower Adam Chappell of Chappell Farm in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Adam shares his story and what he’s learned since incorporating cover
Intensified cover-cropping practices are increasingly viewed as a herbicide-resistance management tool but clear distinction between reactive and proactive resistance management performance targets is needed. We evaluated two proactive performance targets

In 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, we grew red clover in an organic soybean-winter wheat-corn rotation near Mead, NE with the goal of providing N to the following corn crop. The

Weed control in organic soybean usually includes frequent pre-plant tillage operations but spring rains often make it difficult to get into the fields for timely tillage. As a result, weed
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
