Soil losses in agricultural fields can be reduced through the use of cover crops, which provide protection and other benefits.
LSU AgCenter economists present net return estimates of cover crops and conservation tillage use as evaluated in recent studies.
LSU AgCenter researchers are studying the extent to which cover crops can enrich soil nutrient composition.
The nutrient composition and the amount of cover-crop biomass are essential information for evaluating soil fertility benefit from using cover crops.
The positive effects of cover crops depend on how much biomass they produce. The right planting period gives cover crops a head start.
Hands-on demonstrations and unique learning opportunities set the stage for a successful Soil Health and Cover Crop Field Day.
