Project Background
A series of demonstrations will be developed to show the effects of nitrogen fixing cover crops in no-till rotations of wheat and canola on nitrogen fixing and cash crop performance. The project will also demonstrate management practices that can improve nitrogen utilization by cash crops and the impacts of cover crops on soil moisture availability for cash crops.
