Presentation by James Hartshorn Kansas State University Cover Crops of Kansas Presentation by James Hartshorn Kansas State University

Benefits of cover crops Decreased erosion Increased plant residue Pictured: Canola

Benefits of Cover Crops Weed suppression (control) Extensive rooting systems Loosening and aerating soil Crop diversity Pictured: Sudangrass

Benefits of Cover Crops Increased Nutrient Cycles Nitrogen (N) (Legumes) Potassium (K) Phosphorus (P) Picture: Cowpea

Cover Crop Practices Mixing cover crops (legumes and grasses) allows for benefits of both types. Fall cover (grasses) Spring cover (legumes) High nutrient cycles Pictured: Sweet clover & wheat

Cover Crop Limitations Insect infestation in cover crop Water consumption in dry areas Pictured: Soybeans

Cover Crop Limitations Economics Added expense of labor and time Benefits of the cover crop must out weigh the added costs Pictured: Grain Sorghum
