It’s popular knowledge that cover crops play a role in improving soil health — but do you understand the importance of mycorrhizal fungi as covers do their job? Cover Crop Coach Steve Groff will lead a discussion that defines what arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is, what it does for plant growth, and the factors that discourage or encourage AMF — including what cover crop species are hosts and those that are not.

Holtwood, Pa., no-tiller and Cover Crop Coach Steve Groff has done thousands of cover crop research plots over the past 2 decades and will share in this podcast how do “do it right” with research — and how to ask the right questions of others’ research — to maximize educational learning and investment in covers.
