Cover crop dry matter and nitrogen accumulation in Western Oregon

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.
