DEFINITION Grasses, legumes, and forbs planted for seasonal vegetative cover.
PURPOSE(s): (Check at least one and all that apply) ☐ Reduce erosion from wind and water.
☐ Maintain or increase soil health and organic matter content.
☐ Reduce water quality degradation by utilizing excessive soil nutrients. (scavenging)
☐ Suppress excessive weed pressures and break pest cycles.
☐ Improve soil moisture use efficiency.
☐ Minimize soil compaction.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: Cover Crop Management The following table provides cover crop information for each field. Mixtures are described one individual species per line. Add species to total the 100% mix rate.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Control growth of the cover crop to reduce competition from volunteer plants and shading.
Control weeds in cover crops by mowing or by using other pest management techniques.
Control soil moisture depletion by selecting water efficient plant species and terminating the cover crop before excessive transpiration.
Evaluate the cover crop to determine if the cover crop is meeting the planned purpose(s). If the cover crop is not meeting the purpose(s) adjust the management, change the species of cover crop, or choose a different technology.
