Oral Session

ASA Section: Land Management & Conservation

Cover crop research is being conducted across the country for soil conservation, soil quality, pest management and nitrogen contribution to the succeeding crop. Many new production practices are being implemented that include no-tillage and planting multiple species. This session will address the agronomic issues associated with utilizing cover crops.
