Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Effect of preceding winter cover crop on soybean roots following (A) yellow mustard, (B) barley, and (C) ryegrass. Significant root galling was observed in soybean roots following yellow mustard, crimson clover, and hairy vetch, while no root galling was observed on the roots of barley, Streaker hulless oats, ryegrass, winter rye, or spring wheat.
