Root and shoot biomass and nutrient composition of winter rye cover crop following corn and soybean

Abstract Winter cereal rye (Secale cereale L.), a commonly used cover crop in corn (Zea mays L.) systems, has potential to scavenge soil NO3–N through a fibrous root system. This study aimed to quantify root and shoot biomass, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) partitioning in rye cover crop at the time o...
