[QUOTE="Brid @ ADAS, post: 7140312, member: 148882"] Cover crops are grown primarily to ‘protect or improve’ soils in arable crop rotations. They can be effective at improving soil functions by increasing soil nutrient and water retention; improving soil structure and quality; reducing the risk of soil erosion and surface run-off by providing soil cover; and managing weeds and soil-borne pests. For the benefits of cover crops to be fully realised, understanding what different cover-crop species can achieve and how to manage them on different soil types and rotations is crucial. Join us for this free webinar to learn about the benefits of cover crops and the science behind the advice. ADAS researchers will share their knowledge and results from recent research on cover crop management; these include over-winter nitrate leaching losses and impacts on cash crop yields and quality. Practical guidance on cover crop choice, management and potential benefits, and the research tools used to generate this advice, will also be discussed.
