Project Background
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the benefits of using a kura clover living mulch system for no-till crop production under irrigated conditions in Colorado. A kura clover living mulch system has appeal in Colorado because of the ability to control soil erosion, fix atmospheric nitrogen, improve soil quality, sequester carbon, and provide an economical mixed grain and forage production method. This system has special interest for producers seeking to improve forage quality when grazing crop aftermath.
