• Cover crop effect on soil carbon fractions under conservation tillage cotton (2007, background): “Cover crop mixtures were designed to improve the availability of food sources to beneficial insects(Tillman et al., 2004) and to increase biomass production for improving soil organic matter ( Sainju et al., 2005b, 2006 ).”
• Organic Fertilization, Green Manure, and Vetch Mulch to Improve Organic Zucchini Yield and Quality (2013, background): “Although much of this N comes from aboveground biomass, it has been reported that vetch root biomass may comprise as much as 12% of aboveground biomass amounts (Puget and Drinkwater, 2001; Sainju et al., 2005) and will decompose more slowly belowground.”
• Factors affecting soil microbial community structure in tomato cropping systems (2010, result): “The lower root than shoot biomass values, particularly those for hairy vetch roots, are consistent with findings of other researchers (Sainju et al., 2005).”
• Effect of winter cover crop species and planting methods on maize yield and N availability under irrigated Mediterranean conditions (2011, background): “a cereal-legume biculture could be an efficient combination to obtain a cover crop residue with a higher N concentration (Ranells and Wagger, 1997; Sainju et al., 2005; Clark et al., 2007a), which would be interesting to study in our area.”
• Soil microbial biomass, functional microbial diversity, and nematode community structure as affected by cover crops and compost in an organic vegetable production system (2012, unknown): “Biculture of vetch and rye cover crop may increase N supply, crop yields, and N-uptake compared with rye (Sainju et al., 2005), however, cover crop performance and its effect on successive crop can greatly vary depending upon climate, geography and length of growing season (Abdul-Baki et al.”
