About the Webinar
Cover crops have many described uses, but choosing the right one for your
operation is not a simple matter. Management costs need to be compared to
their utility; e.g. for disease control. The results of field experiments
conducted in NY, OH, and MD evaluating different cover crops for tomato
production will be discussed.
