Abstract Cover crops planted in the offseason are subjected to uncontrollable weather variables that limit agro‐ecological services through modifications growth and development. The of five cover crop species was investigated response an array day/night temperatures, 17/9, 22/14, 27/19, 32/24, 37/29 °C. Shoot root parameters were measured 33 d after planting. Quadratic functions best described ...

Despite the dynamic nature of annual cropping systems, few studies have investigated how structure predator communities and their interactions with prey corresponds crop seasonality. Adding winter habitat, such as cover crops, improves soil health likely contributes seasonal habitat availability for arthropod communities. Stable may lead to functionally diverse predatory associated ecosystem se...

Abstract Various winter crops can be produced before soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr] in the Southeast United States, however effect of these on productivity and optimum maturity group to use following various remains unknown. This experiment was conducted five environments across North Carolina 2019 2020 understand crop (MG) productivity. Winter investigated included cereal rye ( Secale cereal...

Although it is well established that soil temperature has substantial effects on the agri-environmental performance of crop production, little known temperatures under living cover crops. Consequently, a crimson clover and white mix, hairy vetch, red were measured for cool, humid Brookston clay loam corn–soybean–winter wheat/cover rotation. Measurements collected from August (after seeding) to ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are drivers of plant communities as they influence competition by increasing plants’ root absorptive surface. As such, AMF could be an important tool for ecological restoration. However, a lack research using in sagebrush steppe implies need more assessments its efficacy. Here, we assessed the ability commercial inoculum to colonize and growth three native Art...
