Cover Crop Research

Green Cover Seed not only sells cover crop seed and mixes, but because we are no-till farmers ourselves, we use them as well.  We have conducted numerous cover crop studies as well as have compiled cover crop research from other sources.   Click on any research study for more information.

2008 Water Usage Study
(17 moisture use charts)

In 2008, we received a SARE grant to study water usage of various cover crops.  We used Watermark soil moisture sensors and dataloggers to determine the amount of moisture being used by different cover crops.

2009 Nutrient Analysis of Cover Crop Mixes

With the assistance of Dr. Ray Ward of Ward Labs, we clipped, tested and analyzed four different cover crop mixes that we had in our 2009 cover crop test plot.
