With a wide variety of cover crop species and mixes available, it can be a challenge to choose the right one to fit into your crop rotation plan. Cover crops are tools we can use on farm to provide nutrients, reduce erosion, suppress weeds and much more! However, not every tool is right for the job and selecting the one that works for you and your farm is key to being successful with cover crops.

In this presentation Jason Lilly from UMaine Extension will discuss web-based cover crop selection tools, crop rotation-based cover crop planning, and cover crop management in vegetable production systems.
