Corn Planted in a Wheat Cover (IMAGE) University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture Caption Contour and no-till planting have already substantially reduced nutrient losses from agricultural fields in Tennessee, but a new study by researchers with the UT Institute of Agriculture predicts corn and soybean farmers who plant unfertilized wheat as a cover crop can reduce nutrient losses even more. The corn shown in this image is planted in a wheat cover crop at UT's West Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center in Jackson, Tenn. Credit Photo by G. Rowsey, courtesy UT Institute of Agriculture.
