Combining roller crimpers and flaming for the termination of cover crops in herbicide-free no-till cropping systems.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The termination of cover crops in conventional no-till systems is mostly conducted mechanically in combination with herbicides. Combining flaming and roller crimpers could be a viable solution to avoid using herbicides for cover crop termination in ...

Timing Termination of a Biofumigant Cover Crop for Weed Suppression in Chile Pepper

HortTechnology
Overwinter mustard cover crops incorporated into soil may suppress early-season weeds in chile pepper (Capsicum annuum). However, the potential for mustard cover crops to harbor beet leafhoppers (Circulifer tenellus) is a concern because beet leafhoppers

Impact of cover crops and termination timing on weed management in corn

Weed Technology
This study evaluated the impact of four cover crop species and their termination timings on cover crop biomass, weed control, and corn yield. A field experiment was arranged in a split-plot design in which cover crop species (wheat, cereal rye, hairy ...

Cover Crop-Based, Organic Rotational No-Till Corn and Soybean Production Systems in the Mid-Atlantic United States [PDF]

Agriculture, 2017
Cover crop-based, organic rotational no-till (CCORNT) corn and soybean production is becoming a viable strategy for reducing tillage in organic annual grain systems in the mid-Atlantic, United States.

Delaying cover crop termination reduced corn yields in a dry spring

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
The hypothesis of this research was that in a semiarid frigid environment, cover crop termination can be delayed beyond 2 weeks prior to planting without sacrificing corn (Zea mays) yield.

Soil bacterial community response to cover crop introduction in a wheat-based dryland cropping system

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
The incorporation of cover crops into cropping systems is important for enhancing soil health in agricultural systems. Soil microbes contribute to soil health by supplying key nutrients and providing protection against plant pests, diseases, and abiotic ...

Weed Control with Cover Crops in Irrigated Potatoes

Agronomy, 2016
Field experiments at Oakes, ND, USA in 2010 and Carrington, ND, USA in 2011 were conducted to evaluate the potential for cover crops grown in the Northern Great Plains, USA in order to reduce weed emergence and density in irrigated potatoes.

Post-termination Effects of Cover Crop Monocultures and Mixtures on Soil Inorganic Nitrogen and Microbial Communities on Two Organic Farms in Illinois

Frontiers in Soil Science, 2022
Cover crops can continue to affect agricultural systems even after they have been terminated by influencing nitrogen dynamics and by altering soil microbial communities.

Cover Crop Termination Treatment Impacts Weed Suppression Potential [PDF]

Weed Science, 2019
AbstractWeed management in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacumL.) is accomplished primarily with soil-residual herbicides, cultivation, and hand removal. Management practices that reduce weed emergence, like reduced tillage and cover crop mulches, may improve weed management efficacy.

In situ water infiltration: Influence of cover crops after growth termination

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2022
Abstract Cover crops (CCs) are known to influence water infiltration just prior to termination, but their effects on water infiltration over time are less known. This study investigated the influence of CCs on in situ water infiltration just prior to CC termination (during April) and again 2 mo after CC ...
