1. Cover Crop Function and Management Optimization for Semiarid West Texas Cropping SystemsWater-use is a primary concern preventing integration of cover crops in dry climates. Recent research has demonstrated that adequate cover crop residue (with optimal termination timing) is more likely to improve soil water dynamics for the subsequent crop. Regarding cover crop function in West Texas, wheat stubbles as a fallow may offer a cheap and effective solution to prevent wind erosion and facilitate water storage in soil profile. Optimum management practices are likely different t... T. Hussain, R. Noland, R. Matschek, . Delaune, E. Kimura , J. Muir |
2. Seeding Rate and Planting Configuration Affect the Interspecific Function of a Wheat-pea Cover CropCover crop species mixtures have potential to maximize overall biomass as well as net N contribution if temporary immobilization of available N by non-legume species can promote greater N fixation by legumes. The growth and ultimate function of legumes in cover crop species mixtures is often limited, however, by excessive competition with other species, particularly grasses, in the mix. The objective of this work is to iden... N. Nielsen, T. Hussain, R. Matschek, R. Noland, M. Mcculloch |
