organic matter added to the system<br />
also impacts results. Some studies show<br />
better water-stable aggregate formation<br />
after cover cropping compared with<br />
compost application, but the effect varies<br />
with both soil type and cover crop<br />
species.<br />
Further research on interactions<br />
between cover crops, soil types, and<br />
microbial response will improve our<br />
ability to adjust management practices<br />
to suit the conditions on each ranch. In<br />
the meantime, feed the soil microbiome<br />
with diverse carbon sources from cover<br />
crop mixes, mulch, and compost. Send<br />
soil samples to labs to check for parasitic<br />
nematodes and other soil borne disease.<br />
Select cover crop species that do<br />
not host the pathogens present in the<br />

Feeding microbial populations by growing cover crops and applying compost or mulch<br />
can help achieve net carbon gain, initiating the processes that build organic matter<br />
and improving agricultural sustainability (photo by Roger Duncan, UCCE.)<br />
