Cover crops are part of crop rotation and are used to help replace lost soil nutrients, and to prevent soil erosion during the off season.

Are the sod crops the same as cover crops?

Not quite. Sod crops are grass crops grown for their root mass and/or their landscaping appeal. Cover crops are grasses and broadleaves, some of which are legumes, grown for their various abilities to shield soil from erosion, add organic matter to soil, build soil tilth, and add soil nitrogen. Sod crops are usually removed from the field, while cover crops are either tilled into the soil or left on top to decompose.

How can I effectively use cover crops in raised beds?

To effectively use cover crops in raised beds, plant them after harvesting your main crop to protect the soil from erosion, suppress weeds, and improve soil health. Choose cover crops that suit your climate and soil type, and cut them down before they go to seed to prevent them from becoming a weed themselves. Rotate cover crops each season to maximize benefits and avoid nutrient depletion.

Research Article in agricultural research?

One example of a research article in agricultural research is "Impact of cover crops on soil health and crop yield in a semi-arid region" by Smith et al. This study investigates the effects of cover crops on soil health parameters and crop yield in semi-arid agricultural systems. The results suggest that cover crops can improve soil health indicators and potentially increase crop yield in these environments.
