Abstract

This report summarizes the results from a two year study examining the ability of cover crops established after winter wheat to sequester soil nitrate and to provide nitrogen to a succeeding corn crop in either a no-till or plow tillage system. The ability and/or reliability of the soil nitrate test to accurately predict nitrogen requirements was also examined.
