Cover Crop Benefits & Solutions Chart


COVER CROP BENEFITS Cover crops, also known as green manures, are one of the cornerstones of ecologically sensible agriculture. Cover crops provide outstanding benefits for the soil, crop and grower including:
• Increasing organic matter content
• Increasing earthworm and beneficial microorganism activity
• Increasing the soil’s plant-available Nitrogen
• Stabilizing the soil to prevent erosion
• Bringing deep rooted minerals to the surface for other crops
• Providing habitat, nectar & pollen for beneficial insects
• Improving water, root and air penetration in the soil
• Increasing the soil’s moisture-holding capacity
• Choking out weeds
• Breaking up subsoil
• Reducing populations of pest organisms
• Providing aesthetic value and color
