Technical Abstract:
This presentation describes how conservation systems that include non-inversion tillage and cover crops, a key component of conservation systems, are managed in the Southeast to maximize benefits. Benefits include weed suppression, moisture conservation, and increased organic matter contents. Management techniques focus on planting dates, fertilization, termination dates, and equipment modifications to facilitate successful adoption of conservation systems with high residue cover crops in the Southeast.
