Researchers have updated key resources on how cover crops can be used to suppress weeds, offering new insights for farmers focused on integrated weed management.
As part of a $10 million effort funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the first National Cover Crop Variety Test Report is being released publicly
Weeds continue to be one of the most yield-limiting factors in no-till crop production, but thankfully, there are new ways of dealing with them when the right tools are sought out and used.
When the goal is to maximize cover crop biomass ahead of soybean planting, producers are sometimes faced with the dilemma between allowing the cover crop more time to grow and the desire to plant soybeans as early as possible within the recommended planting window.
A field study was conducted to determine the amount of dry cereal rye cover crop biomass needed to suppress giant ragweed density and growth. The study was conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the Rock County Farm near Janesville, Wis.
This week’s podcast, brought to you by Montag Manufacturing, contributing editor Martha Mintz chats with Williamsport, Ind. grower Rick Clark about how he integrates cover crops in a seven-way crop rotation, how nutrients are cycling in his system, why he says weeds aren't always bad and more.
One important benefit of cover crops to our production system is providing an alternative selection pressure on weed populations. Cereal rye has the best potential to suppress weeds because it accumulates more biomass than other cover crop species. Read more in this article from Iowa State University Extension.
Each crop year is different, and there will be various reasons influencing the decision of what cover crops to use — the amount of biomass you want produced, your preferred method of cover crop termination, weed control, and more. You have to choose cover crops that are best for your operation, the weather, soil conditions and cash crops.
