Conventional vs. cover crop in soybeans
Flown by John Scott, Digital Agriculture Extension Coordinator, Purdue Extension
These flights evaluate conventional management with no-till cover crop management. The field on the left uses cereal rye as a cover with 30-inch soybean rows planted into the cover. The field on the right was tilled without cover crops and planted in 15-inch rows.
It’s evident the no-till field has more bare spots which can attribute to vertebrate pest damage.
