About the event
Join us for a field walk through Cover Crop Breeding Network trials and breeding nurseries to see what's new, familiar, impressive, or unexpected. CCB Network Advanced Line Trials include single-row plots of crimson clover, hairy vetch, winter pea, cereal rye, and winter canola breeding lines alongside commercial check varieties. National Cover Crop Variety Trials, now in their second year, feature larger plots of commercial varieties and near-commercial CCB Network varieties. Finally, the CCB Network winter pea nursery contains a diverse range of early-generation germplasm. We welcome you to see it all, and we look forward to conversation.
Hosted by the Moore Lab of the Cornell SIPS Plant Breeding & Genetics. Questions are welcome at ccbn@cornell.edu.
