Cover crops are a valuable tool for improving soil health and protecting resources. To help make management decisions, such as planting and termination dates, water use, and more, a team of researchers developed and released a Cover Crop Biomass Calculator. The calculator is available on the CropWatch website. You can find it here:

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has also published several other valuable resources, such as:
