This webinar will increase knowledge of high residue cover cropping systems in vegetable production.
Vegetable producers in the Southeastern U.S. are interested in high residue cover cropping systems to reduce their external inputs and labor. Dr. Danielle Treadwell of University of Florida and Stuart Weiss of the University of the Virgin Islands have been studying the effects of cover crop management practices on vegetable systems. They will discuss the best seasonal opportunities to integrate covers in vegetable systems, criteria for cover crop species selection, and methods to optimize benefits through innovative planting and termination.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
