Summary

Results are summarized of a long-term study started in 1985 at Boone County, Iowa, to determine the effect of several annual and perennial cover crops on maize and soyabean yields. Best soyabean yields were obtained with annual cover crops, Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis) and the bare soil control. Best maize seed yields were obtained with the bare soil control, winter rapeseed and winter barley cover crops.
