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.
