From the supplier: The profitability of corn-soybean rotation is compared with that of a corn on corn cultivation. The importance of nitrogen management for a corn on corn cultivation is emphasized.

From the author: Cover cropping impacts soil properties in many positive ways. These include higher total carbon, which usually contributes to increased cation exchange capacity and water-holding capacity. Enhanced soil physical and chemical properties result in a better environment for the activity of soil microorganisms. We conducted a study of biological properties in no-till corn plots receiving either 0 or 168 kg N [ha.sup.-1]. Plots were planted in the fall each year with a hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), or no cover crop. The vetch cover resulted in the highest organic C accumulations, and the addition of N to the wheat or no cover plots increased C relative to the no N treatments. Soil organic C was not different between the vetch with and without N, but pH was significantly reduced by N fertilization. Hairy vetch had a greater effect on microbial numbers than did the wheat cover or no cover. The greatest bacterial numbers were observed in the vetch with no N treatment. Acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, [Beta]-glucosidase and L-asparaginase activities were all higher in the vetch with no N treatment than any of the other combinations. In the wheat and no cover treatments, the enzyme activities mentioned earlier were all higher in the 168 kg N treatments. Soil treatments that increased soil organic C enhanced the activity of soil microorganisms and/or provided a better environment for the stabilization of microbially produced soil enzymes. Our data indicated that the use of cover crops significantly enhanced soil biological properties as measured by microbial numbers and enzyme activities. The use of cover crops provides soil quality benefits in addition to the reduction in soil loss attained with these systems.

From the author: Spatial variability in crop yield can cause large within-field differences in fertilizer N removal. Cereal winter cover crops can trap the residual N, but their ability to do so partially depends on the soil conditions that determine growth. Our objective was to determine site-specific effects of soil variation on biomass and N accumulation by a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cover crop that was grown after a droughted corn (Zea maize L.) crop. In 1993, corn was grown with an applied fertilizer N rate of 129 kg [ha.sup.-1] on an 8-ha field near Florence, SC. Nitrogen removed by grain at 10 locations (representing six soil types) ranged from 14 to 41 kg N [ha.sup.-1]. Wheat was planted in November without additional fertilizer N. Wheat biomass and N content were measured on 15 March, 15 April, and 14 May. Inorganic soil N to a depth of 90 cm was measured on 22 March 1994 and ranged from 49 to 95 kg [ha.sup.-1]. By mid-March, wheat accumulated 49% of its total N but only 14% of its biomass of that measured in May. After mid-April, significant increases in N accumulation occurred at only two sites. Biomass accumulation by mid-May ranged from 2032 to 7914 kg [ha.sup.-1] and N accumulation ranged from 19 to 52 kg [ha.sup.-1]. The amount of variability among sites for wheat biomass was greater than the amount of variability among sites for N. Variation for wheat biomass and N accumulation within soil map units was similar to the amount of variation among soil map units. Most of the variability was caused by differences in sites within and among soils associated with depression areas. Around these depression areas, site-specific management of N inputs appears more effective than cover crops at reducing N losses to the environment. Away from these areas, cover crops should be predictable and reliable in trapping N and increasing soil organic matter.
