Recent interest in improving soil health has emphasized the need for conservation systems that increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration without negative impacts on crop yield. Cover cropping diversifies cropping
The potential for cover crops to decrease agricultural nutrient losses and improve soil health has sparked a reemergence of interest in the practice. Though, recent studies have shown that there
The early soybean production system (ESPS) is the highest yielding soybean production system in the mid-southern U.S. but requires subsoiling to maximize yield and profitability. The inclusion of cereal rye
Despite the numerous environmental benefits provided by cover crops, only 10% of the U.S/ Midwest field are planted with cover crops. Interseeding cover crops in maize during early vegetative growth
Allelopathy is one mechanism of plant-soil feedback that uses secondary metabolites to alter soil properties to affect the growth of seedlings. Allelopathic chemicals from CC have been shown to suppress
The Soil Health Institute and Cargill conducted this project to provide farmers with the economics information they need when deciding whether to adopt soil health practices and systems. The 10
