Cover crop establishment in late-season crops, like sweet corn, may be difficult due to the relatively short operational window following crop harvest. In regions like western Oregon, where fall-precipitation can occur when the crop is still in the field, cover crops may not be able to be planted, due to...
Annual cover crops are widely used in the Willamette Valley of Oregon on hill land, in orchards and on overflow river bottom land. Cover crops are grown to prevent soil erosion and to increase soil organic matter. The objectives of this study were to determine the crops that would be...

Three experiments whose objectives were to investigate cover

other spring cereals, and allelopathic potential of cereal covers
were conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm and in the greenhouse
and growth chamber facilities at OSU in 1989/90. Kill by winter...
