Management impact and benefit of cover crops on soil quality: A review
Abstract
Abstract Cover crop (CC) cultivation can improve crop yield, soil and environmental quality. Cover crops are multifunctional and contribute to soil quality by improving soil physical, chemical and biological properties. The crops also enhance organic matter and increase nutrient release, suppress weeds, and control pests. There is a need to continually explore and appropriately manage CC utilization to obtain their full benefits. This paper reviews literature on the impacts and benefits of CCs on soil quality in different cropping systems in terms of species selection, termination stage and termination methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
