Cover cropping is an effective strategy for producing sufficient food for the growing population without compromising soil and water quality. Because each cover crop species provides specific benefits to crops and soil, there is a growing interest among producers to adopt multi-species cover cropping. However, experimental data comparing the effectiveness of multispecies cover cropping with less diverse cover cropping are very limited, particularly in the southern United States.
