1. Does Interseeded Cover Crops Composition Affect Corn N Fertilizer Needs and Corn and Soybean Yields?Cover crops are often recommended as a valuable practice to develop more sustainable cropping systems. However, interseeding cover crops may change the amount and timing of nitrogen (N) provided to the crop from decomposition (mineralization), which may increase or decrease the N fertilizer required to optimize corn grain yield. This study aims at understanding the effect of cover crop composition (single and multispecies) on soil biological measurements, corn N requirements, and corn and soybean... S. Kodali, J.D. Clark |
2. Impact of Cover Crop Composition on Nitrogen Application Rates and the Subsequent Yields of Corn and SoybeanInterseeding cover crops presents a promising strategy for enhancing the sustainability of agricultural systems. Nevertheless, the practice of interseeding cover crops introduces a dynamic element to nitrogen (N) cycling, potentially altering both the quantity and timing of N release through decomposition (mineralization). This variability in N availability may, in turn, influence the optimal nitrogen fertilizer requirements to maximize corn grain yield. However, long-term studies are essential... J.D. Clark , P.
