The Cover Crop Chart
The Cover Crop Chart (v. 2.0) is designed to assist producers with decisions on the use of cover crops in crop and forage production systems. The chart, patterned after the periodic table of elements, includes information on 58 crop species that may be planted individually or in cocktail mixtures. Information on growth cycle, relative water use, plant architecture, seeding depth, forage quality, pollination characteristics, and nutrient cycling are included for most crop species.
TO READ MORE AND TO DOWNLOAD THE COVER CROP CHART, go to http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=20323
Spring Newsletter available online & it’s in color!
Go to “About Us” and “Newsletter 2015”.
