The critical period of cover crop management: A framework for maximizing biomass potential and minimizing volunteers with buckwheat

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a short‐duration high‐biomass cover crop often grown in potato (Solanum tuberosum) rotations to provide select agroecosystem services. However, buckwheat's short generation time challenges its continued viability as a cover crop as seed is rapidly produced, resulting in volunteer issues in subsequent ...
