Newest firstLegume cover crops are increasingly incorporated into sustainable production systems, yet their influence on rhizosphere microbial communities remains poorly characterized, particularly for underutilized warm-season species. In this study, we investigated rhizosphere bacterial communities associated with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius), and sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) in an organi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Wireworms are a major threat to potatoes. Agronomic prevention is always the first IPM strategy to be implemented. This work assesses whether a bioactive cover crop, sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), a tropical leguminous plant, reduces wireworm damage risk when cultivated as a crop preceding potatoes. The effects of Crotalaria plants (alive, chopped, and incorporated) on wireworms and tuber-damage prevention were…
Open article record in new tab ↗AbstractCover crop mixtures have the potential to provide more ecosystem services than cover crop monocultures. However, seeding rates that are typically recommended (i.e. seeding rate of monoculture divided by the number of species in the mixture) are non‐optimized and often result in the competitive species dominating the mixture, and therefore limiting the amount of ecosystem services that are provided. We crea…
