Cover crops are an important tool for building soil health and protecting the nation’s watersheds. However, transitioning to a rotation that includes cover crops involves some risk for producers. To
Conservation planning is the primary tool the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) uses to help farmers manage and protect the nation’s soil, water, air, plant, animal, energy, and human
Growth termination of cover crop has been a subject of many studies. In no-tillage production, the cover crops are killed either by the contact herbicides, or by a mixture of
The soil health improvements that can come with the use of cover crops are associated with a variety of potential on-field benefits for the farmer. Cover crops can enhance soil
Cover crops can provide important benefits to agroecosystems, though growing cover crops in vineyards can also have potential drawbacks. Such drawbacks can vary by site, grapevine genotype, and cover-crop species.
