Biomass from interseeded cover crops provides an opportunity to protect soils from erosion during the fallow period. A three-year field study was conducted to assess cover crop interseeding in sugar beet production systems with four species, winter pea (Pisum sativum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], and brown mustard (Brassica juncea. This study provides evidence that interseeded cover crops offer a good option for protecting the soil during fallow periods in sugar beet production systems, without negatively affecting sugar beet yield or quality.
