Data from: Interseeded cover crop mixtures influence soil water storage during the corn phase of corn-soybean-wheat no-till cropping systems

    This study was initiated to evaluate, during the following corn (*Zea mays* L.) phase, the effects of interseeded cover crops on soil temperature, soil water balances, evapotranspiration, infiltration, and yield and water use efficiency of corn. The study was conducted at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, MD from 2017 through 2020. The cropping systems under study were primarily sequences of corn-soybean (*Glycine max* L.)-wheat (*Triticum aestivum* L.)-double crop soybean all planted with no-tillage management.

    Legume Information System

      The Legume Information System ([legumeinfo.org](https://legumeinfo.org "Legume Information System")) is the USDA-ARS genetics and genomics database for legume crops and relatives. Researchers can also submit their data directly. LIS houses data for more than a dozen species such as common bean and chickpea, peanut, and soybean, with genome sequences, genes and predicted functions, families of related genes, views of evolutionary relationships between genomic regions, genetic maps, markers, and links to germplasm resources.
