The lentil fact sheet is a quick reference to aid in selection and identification of cover crop species. The fact sheets provide information on cultural traits, planting information, and performance ratings.

Available from the USDA NRCS website (https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/2025-07/Lentil%20Cover%20Crop%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf).

This fact sheet was created in a collaboration between USDA-NRCS and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach (Mark Licht, Hillary Olson, Mila Pessotto, Jeremy Hollingsworth). Jason Johnson, USDA-NRCS, did the design and layout.
