1. Nitrogen Dynamics and Agronomic-Environmental Impacts of Annual Vs. Perennial Cover Crops in Irrigated Corn-Soybean Systems on Sandy Soils

Irrigated sandy soils can be highly productive yet vulnerable to Nitrogen (N) losses. Kura Clover (Trifolium ambiguum) living mulch offers an alternative mitigation strategy. However, there is limited research aiming to holistically compare the effect of annual vs. perennial cover crops on season-long N dynamics and agronomic-environmental impacts on corn (Zea Mays L.)-soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cropping systems. This 2-yr study assessed rye (Secale cereale) and Kura... E. Garay lagos, F. Fernández, J. Grossman , V. Sharma, R. Venterea
