If you're considering planting green, you may have some questions. Find out what the University of Nebraska has to say about certain aspects of the practice, including possible allelopathy, nitrogen tie-up, the timing of cover crop termination and more.
Yield drag is widely associated with continuous corn as a result of the cooler and wetter soils, nitrogen (N) immobilization, increased disease risk, and allelopathy which often result from high corn residue volume. Follow these tips from Iowa State University for the best possible corn-on-corn results.
One of the challenges I sometimes run into when researching story ideas and topics for No-Till Farmer is finding studies that are conducted under true no-till conditions. As you probably know by now, what works in conventional tillage or even strip-till may not work well in no-till, and vise versa.
University of Nebraska Extension explains how to avoid poor germination, soil moisture reduction, allelopathy and nitrogen deficiencies when planting corn into cereal rye.
Lucas Criswell is pushing his 30-year no-till system another step higher by seeding row crops into taller cover crops and using precision technology to safeguard nutrients and the environment.
I wish I could rewind and start over no-tilling with what I know now. The longer we no-till, the more we learn about what was really happening in our fields as we made the transition, and what we could have done then to take our soils farther, faster.
While no-tilling with cover crops requires more management than straight no-till, the extra effort may be worth it, especially in dry years, maintains Mike Plumer.
