Cover crops boost tomato yield and profits without sacrificing quality.
The study looked at how planting different cover crops in the fall for three years affected tomato production. They tested different cover crops like oats, rye, oilseed radish, and a mix of radish and rye. The results showed that cover crops did not harm tomato quality and actually increased yield and profits. Oilseed radish was particularly beneficial, increasing soil nutrients and profit margins. This suggests that using cover crops can be a good strategy for tomato farmers to improve their harvests and make more money.
