Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Covering the Bases: How cover crops and crop residue affect soil water How you manage your soil today could have impacts on the productivity of your soil in the near and distant future. Water infiltration and plant-available water are two important soil hydraulic properties to manage in regions where rainfall is supplemented using irrigation to meet plant production goals. Both water infiltration and plant-available water are affected by plant residue management, cover crop use and tillage.
