It’s spring! It’s always a good time to be open to new ideas on managing our land and soil in row crop production. Our @RegenPGC Perennial Groundcover Project does precisely that. We are working on new approaches to a lot of old issues, such as how to:
◼ Reduce soil erosion (reduced P losses)
◼ Reduce water runoff
◼ Increase water infiltration
◼ Improve soil quality
AND
◼ How to achieve greater stover harvest
Our Project Director, Dr. Raj Raman, has some ideas on these topics, which he covers in this video presentation, “Perennial Groundcovers in Corn & Soybean Production Systems: Potential & Scalability.” You can find the video at https://youtu.be/MYQcSBZXVXQ and the accompanying Field Notes at https://iastate.box.com/s/fij94zkojl6kpaofkmepdk66cpzb0ij3.
