Trash or Treasure? Maximize the Value of Your Residue

Whether you no-till, cover crop, double crop, or simply have higher yields today than a decade ago, you've got residue in your field. Sometimes we call that residue "trash" because it can create challenges coming planting time. However, we cannot discredit the nutritional value that residue contains to help feed next year's crop and sustain a healthy soil, and suddenly is that "trash" actually "treasure?" The hard part about treasure is that it usually is tough to get to, as can be residue management of our cropping systems. In this webinar, Dr. Connor Sible and Ava Isaacs will review exactly what residue is, how much we're likely to encounter year over year, and summarize recent trial work on residue management conducted by the Crop Physiology Lab at the University of Illinois.

Cover Crops and Soil Health for Better Crop Fertility Decisions

The webinar takes a look at non-cereal rye cover crop options, including nitrogen-fixing species and what research shows about their role in supplying nitrogen. Presenters also address how cover crops can affect fertilizer needs, nutrient availability and soil moisture across tillage systems. The soil health segment focuses on practical soil testing tools, how organic matter contributes nutrients, and an overview of biological products and mycorrhizal fungi, including potential benefits and ways to evaluate them in the field.
