With frost seeding, the seed becomes buried in the soil through alternating freezing and thawing events. When favorable temperatures (45 degrees F and above) occur, the seed germinates and emerges.

Among his many accomplishments, he co-led the establishment of the Northeast Cover Crops Council and has been instrumental in developing the Cover Crop Decision Support Tool.
When used appropriately, cover crops can improve soil health, boost nutrient cycling, manage soil moisture, suppress weeds, feed livestock and more. But it's important to consider cover crops in the context where they will be growing, says Dwayne Beck, recently-retired director of Dakota Lakes Research Farm.
