UNH and Strafford County Conservation District Team Up to Test Cover Crops

University of New Hampshire scientists have teamed up with the Strafford County Conservation District to test different combinations of cover crops, which farmers use for a number of reasons, including improving soil fertility and productivity, reducing erosion, and controlling pests.

The project under the direction of Richard Smith, assistant professor of agroecology, is funded by the NH Agricultural Experiment Station at the UNH College of Life Sciences and Agriculture.
