Download or read book Managing Cover Crops Profitably 3rd Ed written by Andy Clark and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control many pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You¿ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, since their benefits accumulate over the long term. This book will help you find which ones are right for you. Captures farmer and other research results from the past ten years. The authors verified the info. from the 2nd ed., added new results and updated farmer profiles and research data, and added 2 chap. Includes maps and charts, detailed narratives about individual cover crop species, and chap. about aspects of cover cropping.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) are two forages that fit well into mixed row crop/livestock operations as they can be used both as a cover crop and as a source of winter pasture. Few researchers have studied how to integrate these forages in a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]-winter pasture-corn (Zea mays L.) rotation. An experiment was conducted where each of these forage species was overseeded at different stages of soybean development, and corn was grown as a subsequent crop. Soybean yield was not altered by overseeding annual ryegrass or cereal rye. All treatments yielded over 2,500 kg ha-1 for the season (with a high of 4,200 kg ha-1), which would supply much needed pasture for winter grazing. While all treatments were adequate sources of forage, overseeding at the R 6.5 stage consistently produced the greatest yields for both annual ryegrass and cereal rye. Forage quality from annual ryegrass was slightly better than for cereal rye, but both had crude protein levels of more than 170 g kg-1 and neutral detergent fiber of less than 559 g kg-1. The overseeded treatments had at least 60% more residue cover and at least 70% less weed cover than did the control plots. Corn yield in the following year was not altered by overseeding. The results of the experiment demonstrate that livestock operations in the lower Midwest could use cereal rye and annual ryegrass overseeded into soybean for winter grazing.

Download or read book Soil Management written by Jerry L. Hatfield and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Degradation of soils continues at a pace that will eventually create a local, regional, or even global crisis when diminished soil resources collide with increasing climate variation. It's not too late to restore our soils to a more productive state by rediscovering the value of soil management, building on our well-established and ever-expanding scientific understanding of soils. Soil management concepts have been in place since the cultivation of crops, but we need to rediscover the principles that are linked together in effective soil management. This book is unique because of its treatment of soil management based on principles—the physical, chemical, and biological processes and how together they form the foundation for soil management processes that range from tillage to nutrient management. Whether new to soil science or needing a concise reference, readers will benefit from this book's ability to integrate the science of soils with management issues and long-term conservation efforts.

Download or read book Overseeding the Cover Crops Hairy Vetch vicea Villosa Roth and Medium Red Clover trifolium Pratense L Into Corn zea Mays L After the Last Cultivation written by Marjorie Louise Townsend and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hairy vetch (Vicea villosa Roth) and medium red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) were overseeded into corn (Zea mays L.) after the last cultivation. A high and a low seeding rate were used of each cover crop. Yields of corn and dry matter production of cover crops were measured in the cover crop establishment year. Corn was removed in some treatments to simulate silage harvest. Cover crop dry matter was again measured the following spring. Precipitation was below the long term average in all site years; about 83% of average 1993, and about 67% in 1994, and greatly influenced corn and cover crop yields. There were no significant differences in any site years between the corn yields of the four different cover crop treatments. Although there were often differences in cover crop dry matter production in October of the establishment year, there were never differences in the corn yields associated with the different cover crop treatments. Both hairy vetch seeding rates yielded more dry matter and nitrogen than both clover seeding rates. The high vetch seeding rate generally yielded more than the low vetch seeding rate in the fall of the establishment year, but there was no difference the following spring. There was generally no difference in dry matter production between the red clover seeding rates in the fall, but the high clover seeding rate yielded more than the low clover seeding rate the following spring. Cover crop spring dry matter yields were higher where corn had been removed the previous fall to simulate silage harvest than where corn had been harvested for grain. In the second year, corn was no till planted into killed cover crop residue, and corn yields measured in the fall of the second year. The cover crops apparently depleted soil moisture before corn planting, and exacerbated continuing low soil moisture levels. Corn yields in all cover crop treatments were very low at Hoytville, both when fertilizer nitrogen (FN) was added and when it was not. When no FN was added, corn yields at S. Charleston were lowest when corn was planted into vetch residue. When FN was added, corn yields were highest in the vetch treatments.

Book excerpt: Recent changes in the Conservation Compliance Plans for farmers shows the need for improved information on the effective management of crop residues. Residue management requires an understanding of the crop, soil, and climate in which the farming system is located. In this volume, the strategies for effective residue management are described for each region of the country to provide a comparison of the regional differences. The chapters not only describe the knowledge in each region but also suggest some of the needed areas of research required to develop an improved understanding of the processes involved in effective residue management.
