Evaluating Cover Crop Seeding Techniques

Seeding Technique and Date Effect on Cover Crop Establishment

The project compared three different seeding techniques: above and below crop canopy using a high clearance interseeder and drilling after harvest. Evaluation of the techniques was completed through fall and spring biomass collection and crop yield. A no cover crop plot was included in the replications as a yield comparison check strip. The project started in Fall of 2014 and concluded with crop harvest in 2016.
