The introduction of this workbook presents a wide range of potential benefits that cover crops may provide to your farm. Unfortunately, there is no “wonder crop” that can provide all these benefits at once.

This workbook will help you match your needs for soil-improvements with the best crops and management schemes for your particular situation. Two chapters help you identify the most appropriate application for your situation and how to assess the N effects from a cover crop, and Chapter 3 is a troubleshooting guide. Appendix I describes characteristics and recommended management practices for some of the most useful cover crops for the Northeast.
