323 Cover Crops In Agricultural Systems: II

Oral Session
S06 Soil & Water Management & Conservation

This session will focus on the management and impact of cover crops in agricultural production systems. Any management issues of cover crops may be presented including establishment, termination, planting date, planting methods, cover crop growth, and nutrient uptake. Impact or effect of cover crops on any aspect of the environment, soil, nutrients, carbon, or cropping systems may also be presented.
