Brief Project Summary:

The overall goal of the project is to determine the influence of cover crops and phosphorus fertilizer management on water quality and crop yields in a corn/soybean rotation. Specific project objectives include: determining the effect of winter cover crops on field-scale water balance, soil moisture, and crop growth; determining the effect of winter cover crops on runoff volume, sediment, and nutrient losses; and determining the effect of winter cover crops on phosphorus loss from fall broadcast vs. spring injected phosphorus fertilizer management.
