Cover crop performance under a changing climate in continuous corn system over Nebraska.

Fall-planted cover crop (CC) within a continuous corn (Zea mays L.) system offers potential agroecosystem benefits, including mitigating the impacts of increased temperature and variability in precipitation patterns. A long-term simulation using the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer model was made to assess the effects of cereal rye (Secale cereale L.

Cover Crop and Crop Rotation Effects on Tissue and Soil Population Dynamics of and Yield Under No-Till System.

The effects of crop rotation and winter cover crops on soybean yield and colony-forming (CFU) units of , the causal agent of charcoal rot (CR), are poorly understood. A field trial was conducted from 2011 to 2015 to evaluate (i) the impact of crop rotation consisting of soybean ( [L.] Merr.

Mixed-Species Cover Crop Biomass Estimation Using Planet Imagery.

Cover crop biomass is helpful for weed and pest control, soil erosion control, nutrient recycling, and overall soil health and crop productivity improvement. These benefits may vary based on cover crop species and their biomass. There is growing interest in the agricultural sector of using remotely sensed imagery to estimate cover crop biomass.

Spatial monitoring technologies for coupling the soil plant water animal nexus.

Systems-level studies aimed at determining how soil properties are linked to plant production and ultimately animal response spatially are lacking. This study aims to identify if grazing pressure is linked to soil properties, terrain attributes, and above-ground plant accumulation and nutritive value in a silvopastoral (or integrated tree-livestock) system. Overall, cattle prefer grazing native grasses (2.
