Abstract

Abstract : This research documented water use, grain yield, and water use efficiency of wheat following a 10‐species cover crop mixture and single‐species plantings (planted no‐till into proso millet residue) compared with winter wheat following a no‐till fallow period. The study was conducted under varying water availability conditions in western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado.
