Agronomic And Economic Implications Of Cover Crop Inclusion Within Varying Nitrogen Management Strategies In Central Illinois, Richard T. Roth

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis contains a comprehensive analysis of research investigating the impacts of nitrogen application timing and cover crops on the biomass production, nitrogen uptake, and cash crop grain yield in subsequent cash crops. Also contained within this thesis is a cost benefit analysis for the implementation of cover crops within varying nitrogen management systems, which assigns value to the environmental benefits of cover crops and determines their potential to recover the implementation costs associated with cover crops.
