At first thought, it may seem that crop residue decay could hamper seed germination and new crop growth. However, residue decay and new seedling germination are driven by biological activity in the soil. Both processes can be managed to profitably break down residue while starting fall-seeded cover crops.
This webinar will cover several important factors in both processes:
- Seed dormancy and germination
- Nitrogen needs for early cover crop growth
- Nutrient recycling from different residues
- Role of moisture, temperature, and tillage
Note: All webinar registrants will receive a link to the replay within 48 hours of the event's conclusion. If you aren't sure if you can attend live, register today so you don't miss out on getting first access to this video!
