Abstract
Nutrient and soil management of organic vegetable crops must use National Organic Program (NOP) compliant materials. Allowable inputs include animal manure, compost, legume cover crops, green manures, and commercially produced fertilizer. The practice of rotation with cover crops is a requirement of organic production, but can be a challenge, especially when it comes to finding a planting window between cash crops. This challenge is increased on diversified vegetable operations, where multiple crops are grown in a season.
