Session: Strategies to Improve Water Use Efficiency in Crop Rotations and Cover Crop Systems (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings (2015))

410 Strategies to Improve Water Use Efficiency in Crop Rotations and Cover Crop Systems

Poster Session

ASA Section: Agronomic Production Systems

Rotational and cover crop systems may be beneficial for improving irrigated water productivity as well as maintaining or increasing soil organic carbon levels, reducing soil erosion, and minimizing nutrient losses. The objective of this session is to discuss the effects of crop rotations and cover crops on the water use efficiency of irrigated cropping systems and the pertinent seasonal and multi-seasonal irrigation strategies to improve the overall water productivity of the agricultural system. The advantages and disadvantages of crop rotations and cover crops will be discussed within the context of a range of evapotranspiration and precipitation regimes.
