Soil Health and Nutrient Flows with Enhanced Cover Cropping and Soil Management: Corn and Soybean Yields During 3 Years of Cover Crop and Nitrogen Management
dataset
posted on 2025-04-05, 00:52 authored by Melissa Stefun, Ray WeilData for yields of two corn-soy rotation fields with different soil textures being managed with cover crop treatments over three years at the Central Maryland Research and Education Center (CMREC) in Beltsville, MD. Combine yield monitor data and hand harvest data are included. This data was collected to assess the impact of cover crops and their management as well as N fertilization rate on yields of the corn and soybean main crops. |
