NNYADP Research Evaluates Cereal Cover Crops

The inclusion of winter cereals as cover crops into various crop and livestock systems is a relatively common practice in today’s agriculture. The primary reasons for this are protection of soil from erosion and enhancement of soil health through organic matter and carbon (C) addition (Long et al., 2012). However, farmers are increasingly interested in using cover crops to sequester nitrogen (N) in the fall (cover crops as catch crops) and carry it over to the spring.
