Article Synopsis
- Winter cover crops like winter camelina and pennycress may help reduce nutrient leaching in the Upper Midwest by improving soil health and nutrient retention.
- Research measured nitrogen in plant biomass and soil, showing that winter rye and forage radish sequestered significant nitrogen in the fall, while oilseed cover crops outperformed in spring nitrogen uptake before soybean planting.
- Overall, these cash cover crops not only provide economic benefits for farmers but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing nutrient loss from the soil.
