In GROW Farmer Forums, growers lead webinars and answer questions on how they use integrated weed management in their own farming operations. The following two forums tackle common cover crop management questions.
Cover Crop Termination: In this 2023 forum, farmers from Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Virginia converged to talk about how they handle terminating their cover crops each spring.
Their conversation gave listeners an in-depth explanation of their cover crop termination methods and targets (from cereal rye monocultures to large cover crop mixes) within corn, soybean, cotton and small grains row cropping operations. The farmers discussed planting green, how cover crops can reduce herbicide use, and how to terminate cover crops late for more weed-suppressing biomass.
