If you are planning to plant into a rye cover crop, it's best to wait to do so until 10 days after spraying the cover crop, according to Kevin Shelley with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nutrient & Pest Management Program. Planting green is also an option for growers to consider, which allows the planter to place seed while allowing the cover crop to continue increasing organic matter.
