These crops offer a wide range of services, such as soil coverage, organic matter contribution, weed population dynamics reduction, as well as chemical, physical, and biological soil improvements. In the last ten years in Argentina, it was observed a significant increase in the use of these crops, with variable results depending on the species used and the goals sought. The objective was to evaluate the inclusion of winter service crops with respect to soil water availability, biomass production, and aerial coverage as potential benefits for agricultural production in Corrientes. A trial was carried out at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at UNNE. Vetch, oats, and forage turnip were used as service crops. The presence of weeds and insect pests was also observed. Seventy-seven days after sowing, differences in biomass among the three species were observed. Oat production was the highest followed by vetch and turnip. The crop with the highest average coverage was vetch, followed by oat and turnip. Oat and vetch accumulated more water throughout the cycle. Both  oat and vetch crops provided ecosystem services favorably. Los cultivos de servicio (CS), también conocidos como cultivos de cobertura o abonos verdes, son plantas cultivadas con la finalidad de proporcionar beneficios al ecosistema o servicios ecosistémicos, sin la intención de ser cosechadas. Estos cultivos ofrecen una amplia gama de servicios, tales como la cobertura del suelo, la contribución de materia orgánica, la reducción de la dinámica poblacional de malezas, así como mejoras químicas, físicas y biológicas del suelo. En los últimos diez años, en Argentina, se observó un aumento significativo en la utilización de estos cultivos, con resultados variables según la especie empleada y los objetivos buscados. El objetivo fue  evaluar la inclusión de cultivos de servicio invernales, en relación a la disponibilidad de agua en suelo, la biomasa generada y la cobertura aérea como beneficios potenciales para la producción agrícola de Corrientes. Se llevó a cabo un ensayo en el campo experimental de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la UNNE. Se utilizaron vicia, avena y nabo forrajero como cultivos de servicio. También se observó la presencia de malezas e insectos plaga. A los setenta y siete días después de la siembra hubo diferencias en la biomasa de las tres especies. La producción fue superior en avena, seguida por vicia y nabo. El cultivo que presentó el mayor valor promedio de cobertura fue vicia, seguido por avena y nabo. Los cultivos de avena y vicia acumularon más agua a lo largo del ciclo.Tanto el cultivo de avena como el de vicia, brindaron los servicios de manera favorable.  Instituto Agrotécnico "Pedro M.
