Palle Pedersen, Assistant Professor; Jodee Roland, Agricultural Assistant,
Agronomy, Iowa State University. Incorporation of perennial legumes and cover
crops into our row cropping systems and reduction of tillage will reduce soil
erosion and concurrent loss of phosphorous and nitrogen to surface water. Kura
clover is a relatively new forage legume in North America that can be used
in a living mulch system. It has an excellent forage yield and is persistent
under a wide range of soil and climatic environments.
