Control of Cereal Rye with a Roller/Crimper as Influenced by Cover Crop Phenology
Agronomy Journal, 2009 Adoption of reduced tillage practices have been driven by the need to enhance soil quality, minimize field labor time, and scale up farm size. However, concerns about increased reliance on herbicides and demand for organically grown foods call for adoption of production practices that can reduce both tillage and herbicide use.
