Effects of Interseeding Cover Crops into Corn and Soybean on Biomass Production, Grain Yields and Ecosystem Services: A Review
Hans W. Klopp
Abstract:Planting cover crops can improve soil health and help to sustain agricultural crop yields. In northern climates where corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) are grown, cover crop biomass production can be low. This has led to people investigating the potential of interseeding cover crops into the growing main crop. This paper sought to determine biomass production and the benefit to grain yields, weed control and soil properties from interseeding cover crops into corn and soybean. This review included… Show more
