Cover Story: Cover crops are widely used as a tool with which to improve sustainability due to their benefits for the environment, cropping systems, and soil health. Cover crops are part of rotation strategies, and the primary goal is not to maintain or increase the biomass of the cover crops but to provide biomass for cash crops. However, this can be counterproductive if nutrient fixation or uptake leads to subsequent nutrient stress and yield decline. Variety selection and management practices must be integrated to mitigate these effects. In addition, regional studies are needed to determine the best varieties and management practices for accurately understanding the effects of cover crops. View this paper
