Recorded: 8/20/25
In part two of our Ag Innovations segment, we're highlighting research at Penn State’s Cover Crop Cocktails field site. We chat with PhD student Theo Newbold about how cover crops and management drive fungal endophyte communities, or “dormant” disease communities. We also chat with Master’s student Allie Rice about incorporating perennial systems into a rotation for weed management.
