Nutrient management traditionally has been concerned with optimizing the economic returns from nutrients used to produce a crop.

The burrowing and feeding activity of earthworms have numerous beneficial effects on overall soil quality for crop production.

The seed delivery system in drills is not as precise as that used in planters because they use flutes or sponges to meter seed instead of seed singulation.

Weeds are plants whose undesirable qualities outweigh their good points.

Soil compaction is the reduction of soil volume due to external factors; this reduction lowers soil productivity and environmental quality.

The increasing size of farm equipment may cause significant soil compaction that can negatively affect soil productivity as well as environmental quality.

Establishes rapidly, has a long growing season, possesses high nutrient contents, and can be grazed and used for hay or silage.
