A new web site has been developed by John Tooker at Penn State University, called "Slug Portal," provides information on slugs in no-till field crops and management options.

It’s often said that no-tillers choosing cover crops for their farm operations should have goals in mind. One could be scavenging nitrogen in the soil and holding it for the next cash crop, rather than letting this expensive nutrient run off fields into local watersheds.

From August 16th, 2013 - September 15th, 2013, we asked No-Till Farmer readers: "Are you planning to seed cover crops this summer/fall?"

University of Nebraska Extension shares some tips and considerations for planting cover crops into storm-damaged fields.

From year to year, the most consistent results and the greatest benefits are seen when foliar fungicide applications are made at tassel or silking, Ohio State University says.
