Planting Fall Cover Crops - WOWO 1190 AM | 107.5 FM
Sarah Noggle, Rachel Cochran Ohio State University Extension We are now approaching the time of year to think about planting fall cover crops. Cover crops can serve many purposes, ranging from erosion control to nutrient sequestration. Depending on the type and species of cover crop, benefits range from providing a Nitrogen source, scavenging nutrients to […]

The University of Missouri Extension is looking for farmers to participate in cover crop trials as part of the “MU Certified” Strip Trial Program. MU Extension nutrient management specialist John Lory, who leads the program, said this year’s farmer panel approved trials focused on improving the management of cover crops, particularly ahead of corn. “The farmer panel has encouraged us to work with farmers who have success with cover crops so we can learn and document what works,” Lory said.

Choosing the right cover crop to protect the soil | News Break
Farmers around the world are keen to protect their most important asset: their soil. The soil supports and enriches their crops.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Extension is looking for farmers to participate in cover crop trials as part of the “MU Certified” Strip Trial Program.MU Extension nutrient management specialist John Lory, who leads the program, said this year’s farmer panel approved trials focused on improving management of cover crops, particularly ahead of corn.“The farmer panel has encouraged us to work with farmers who have success with cover crops so we can learn and document what works,” Lory said.The strip trial program uses on-farm research to help farmers improve profits and maintain the environment. A local extension person will work with the farmer to lay out a trial that works with the farmer’s equipment and provide guidance throughout the trial. Drones will survey fields throughout the year to monitor residue over winter and crop condition during the growing season. Every fall the program sends the farmer results from their farm and from other trial participants.Cover crop strip trial options for planting this fallCover crop comparison ahead of cornLory seeks farmers who have success with cover crops ahead of corn. The farmer controls all management, including the type of cover crop, seeding rate, planting method and timing, and termination method and timing. This is compared to a no-cover control. The trial tracks the impact of treatment on residue cover and corn yield.Cover crop management to maximize residue after soybeanThis two-year trial tests a strategy to increase residue ahead of soybean as a way to increase residue after soybean. This strategy does not require planting a cover crop directly before corn. Cover crop treatments are established this fall on fields to be planted to soybean and will be tracked through the corn crop in 2022. Participants will use a winter small grain such as cereal rye as the cover crop this fall. The farmer chooses the cover crop termination date, but late termination such as planting soybean “into the green” also is preferred.Seeding rate of cover crop ...

Studies explore the role of cover crops in suppressing glyphosate-resistant horseweed
Horseweed is considered one of the most troublesome weeds in the United States and Canada - able to produce devastating losses in both corn and soybean yields when left uncontrolled. Two recent studies - one published by the journal Weed Science and the other by the journal Weed Technology - provide insights on the role cover crops might play in controlling horseweed and reducing the need for herbicides.
