| Note: The following cover crop images are part of an extensive collection of cover crop photographs maintained the UC SAREP staff. The images have not been completely categorized and labeled. Some will be included in a book on cover crops due out in 1997, but all images have been made available online because of the overwhelming number of requests we have had for them. | |
