Abstract:: Hairy vetch is used as a cover crop, green manure, pasture, silage, and hay. It is capable of accumulating large amounts of dry matter and nitrogen. When planted alone as a winter cover crop in annual vegetable rotations, it can provide substantial amounts of nitrogen (N) to a following crop.

Abstract:: Buckwheat is not likely to increase soil organic matter content much because dry matter production is relatively low and tissues are succulent and decompose very rapidly when incorporated. However, buckwheat can improve short-term soil tilth and has been used to prepare fields for transplants.

Creator:: Sattell, Robert, Buford, Thomas, Murray, Helene, Dick, Richard, McGrath, Daniel M. (Daniel Morton), and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Cover crop selection and management depend on many factors, among them the cover crop’s ability to accumulate dry matter (i.e., residues) and nitrogen (N). Dry matter provides energy for soil organisms, contributes to soil organic matter, improves tilth, and acts as a sink for nutrients.

Abstract:: Subclovers are used for forage and hay and have been used successfully in Oregon as fall-planted and relay interplanted cover crops in annual rotations. They are capable of accumulating substantial amounts of N, a portion of which is available to the following crop. Rapid growth suppresses weeds in spring.
