Increasing Varietal Suitability and Availability of Cowpea and Forage Radish Cover Crop Seed for Northern Climates
Project Objective
To add to the functional agronomic value of forage radish and cowpea cover crops through farmer-led
selection for traits of interest and to the economic value of the cover crop seed by providing cultivars with
documented performance and suitability to seed production in northern climates.
