Description:
Tracking cover crop plantings and results systematically will inform variety selection and reduce risk for producers wishing to include cover crops in rotations. Unlike a traditional replicated trial, the emphasis is on multiple trials that are likely unreplicated. Results from replicated trials can still be included. The Workflow diagram illustrates how to plan, track, and register a cover crop trial. The analyses included herein are a recommended minimum data set. Additional data can be collected and documented. See the following database for collecting cover crop trial data: https://projects.sare.org/wp-content/uploads/6.CoverCropTrialDatabase-Blank.xlsx
