This study evaluated germination and establishment characteristics of native legumes, which may hold potential for development as water-efficient cover crops in Kansas. Twenty-three species were subjected to hot water scarification, cold-moist stratification, and no pretreatment and allowed to germinate ...

Our country state of mind means we treat every place like home—but we start with the very soil where we grow our delicious ingredients. Cover crops will restore healthy soil by providing crucial nutrients and preventing soil erosion. In the long term, cover crops will help improve soybean yie...
Field experiments were conducted for two seasons in Kansas. Leguminous summer cover crops and double-cropped soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] residues improved soil N availability; N was subsequently used by the succeeding crop. Across years and cropping systems, the mean increases in grain ...
Because little information exists concerning short-term effects of winter cover crops on soil carbon, soil carbon was measured after one season's growth of six winter cover crops in Kansas. They were three legumes [alfalfa (Medicago sativaL.), Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativumvar.arvensePoir....

A 12-year University of Illinois study shows that, although the use of cover crops does not improve crop yields, the practice does increase the amount of sequestered soil organic carbon using three different soil management systems.
“Farmers for Soil Health is unique in that it provides a couple of key factors that we know will enhance the adoption of cover crops,” said Ben West, Farmers for Soil Health executive director. “Technical assistance provides farmers valuable benefits, and knowing what the science says an...
