Brief Project Summary:

This research determines the importance of seed treatments for soybeans planted into a cereal rye cover crop terminated at different times. It also determines if cover crops alone or in combination with a seed treatment will be effective in controlling seedling diseases and soybean cyst nematode. Efforts will track changes in soil health over several years of no-till and cover crop use that are associated with sustainable yields.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
