Brief Project Summary:

This research project plans to determine the effect of cover crops and tillage alone and combined with each other on irrigation efficiency, soil properties, runoff, and soybean yield and economic return. These efforts will support development of best management practices for using a combination of cover crops and tillage systems under irrigation.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
