Integrating Cover Crops into a Corn and Soybean Cropping System
January 8, 2018
An article from the Proceedings of the 2018 Nebraska Extension Crop Production Clinics on recent research to understand the impact of planting dates, plant populations, and corn (Zea mays L.) hybrid comparative relative maturity (CRM) on corn growth, kernel moisture content, and corn yield prior to cover crops.
Finding the Balance Between Corn Yield and Cover Crop Biomass
November 29, 2016
Cover crops can provide either ecosystem services or forage benefits but understanding how they fit in cropping systems is still limited. This study assessed the effects of planting date (early and late), plant population (low, average, and high) and corn maturity (80 to 115 days relative maturity) on corn yield.
Interseeding Cover Crops into Corn
November 29, 2016
This cover crop study looked at the effect on corn yield and cover crop biomass production from interseeding cover crops at various points in the corn production cycle.
