1. Inter-seeding Cover Crops Influence on Optimal Corn Nitrogen Rate in No-till

Moving from conventional to no-till with the inclusion of cover crops may change the amount and timing of nitrogen (N) provided to corn (Zea mays L.) from mineralization, which may increase or decrease needed N fertilizer to optimize corn grain yield. This study evaluated the effect of cover crop composition on corn N fertilizer requirement and corn grain yield. The effect of three cover crop treatments (no cover crop, single grass species, and grass/broadleaf mixture) on corn... J. Clark, S. Osborne, P. Kovacs, R. Slaght
