Resilient dryland farming appropriation (RDFA) 2021 – 2022 annual report: Cover crop trial

This report presents the data from the third year of a three-year study. In this relatively wet season, fall-planted cover crops, particularly winter peas and the fall mix, produced substantial biomass and provided season-long ground cover. Spring-planted cover crops had insufficient time to grow before termination was necessary and did not produce substantial biomass. More details about the RDFA project can be found at the project's main page (link provided on .pdf).
