No Tillage is nothing without a good winter cover crop. Establishing a vigorous winter cover crop each fall is akey factor in turning out top yields in a no tillage program. This is true even if last year’s crop was planted in a perennial sod. A mulch lasts only one season, so a freshly killed cove* is necessary each spring. The heavier the mulch, the more moisture it will trap for roots to tap next summer. It'll also keep soil erosion and surface evaporation of moisture at a minimum There are four things to look for when choosing a winter cover crop: (1) Ease of establishment, (2) Winter hardiness, (3) Ease of killing with a herbicide, (4) Persistence of dead mulch. (Check with your seed supplier or soil conservation service for inform ation on cover crops recommended for your area) Once your cover crop is established, keep in mind that it doesn't pay to graze or harvest it for hay or silage. Stubble left after harvest won't provide enough protective mulch. In one university test, for example, corn planted into a vigorous sod yielded 47% more than com planted into stubble. Why are we telling you all this? Because we want you to know everything about no tillage farming. And we also want you to use the best product you can to give quick kill and fast knock down of any cover crop That's ORTHO PARAQUAT. Proven to be the best herbicide developed for No Tillage Farming.
