Webinar: Crop production, soil quality, and economic analysis

For the past 9 years, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada Researchers and Harrow Research and Development Centre have been evaluating the efficacy of using legume cover crops in organically managed soybean-winter wheat/cover crop-corn rotation in Harrow, Ontario. They looked at cover crop biomass and biomass N accumulation; grain yields; impacts on selected soil health parameters; and an economic analysis was conducted for grain production under cover crop involved organically managed and no-cover crop conventional rotations.
Dr. Xueming Yang will share their results of this 5 year study.

Dr. Xueming Yang: Dr. Xueming Yang is a research scientist in the AAFC Harrow Research and Development Centre where he studies soil health with special interest in the relationships between agronomic management practices (tillage, rotation, cover cropping) and soil carbon and nitrogen charateristics and dynamics.
