Description:
The Periodic Table of Cover Crops is a visual tool for producers interested in utilizing cover crops on their farms or ranches. The overall layout of the cover crop selection tool is meant to mimic the organized structure of the periodic table of elements. Where the plant is located on the chart, the color of the box, and the numbers and icons in the corners of the box all provide information relevant to that plant. This table is meant to be an easy-to-use, handy reference to help land stewards find the most suitable plants to help achieve their soil health goals.
