How does everyone find testing their cover crops for a nutrient breakdown. sampled this nice brassica mix today. How reliable has results been in the past for people reducing p & k fertilisers particularly.

Some cover crops have a strong ability to access Phosphorus pools in soil that most crops cannot access. As the cover crop biomass decomposes, the Phosphorus then becomes available for subsequent cash crops.

Will post the nutrient analysis once it returns.
