Research Objectives

  1. Transform cover crop data connectivity via nationwide social and technical infrastructure.

  2. Develop key technologies to improve cover crop performance, inform management, and determine impacts on agronomic productivity, stability, and ecosystem services.

  3. Develop key technologies with cover crops to assess abiotic and biotic factors affecting crop performance.

  4. Transform education and extension knowledge delivery to catalyze cover crop adoption.

  5. Determine the effectiveness of a cover crop information ecology as a model for integrating participatory research and practice.
