Cover Cropping Perennial Systems: A Meta‑Analysis of Ecosystem Service Frameworks for Sustainable Agriculture Although ecological rationales for cover cropping have been elucidated, the implementation of the practice lags. There has
Utilizing cover crop treatments can have significant agronomic benefits for a farm enterprise. However, implementing this technology introduces additional costs. A farmer-led agronomic trial was analyzed to identify the relationship
Cover crop (CC) biomass is generally proportional to its ability to provide weed control. In addition, some CC release allelopathic compounds that contribute to weed suppression by inhibiting germination and
Steven Mirsky (USDA-ARS) and Greg Roth (Penn State University) provide a rundown of common establishment methods for cover crops: aerial seeding, interseeding and post-harvest drilling. They also discuss the importance

Ron Morse (Virginia Tech, emeritus) shares how to successfully fit cover crops into a vegetable rotation, including establishment methods, matching the right species to the right methods, recommended rotations and
Natalie Lounsbury (University of New Hampshire) discusses how to manage cover crops for such ecosystem services as: suppressing weeds, attracting pollinators, cycling nutrients, promoting biological diversity, and controlling erosion.
Greg Roth (Penn State) presents on behalf of Scott Rushe (Seedway), discussing his take on the future of cover crops, including past and current demand for cover crop seeds (species,
Many of the benefits of cover crops are known and their use is increasing, but more can be done to evaluate and improve their performance and adoption. In this session,
