New Cover Crops Bulletin
The first revision of the University of California bulletin on
cover crops in 38 years is now available through the UC Division
of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Covercrops for California
Agriculture shows growers how to enhance the productivity
of their land while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
The 24-page bulletin outlines the benefits and costs of using
cover crops, how to select appropriate cover crops for different
commodities and how to manage cover crops. Rick Miller,
a UC Davis postgraduate agronomy researcher and one of the publication's
primary authors, said the bulletin can be "an important resource
for farmers who want to establish a broader, more integrated method
of production."
