[QUOTE="Howdenshire Farmer, post: 6439710, member: 18872"] A crop grown for 2 months will have a small benefit. Repeat the practice of catch and/or cover cropping as well as returning crop residues for 10 years and then you will see a benefit. The principal short term benefit of catch cropping after early vining peas is to capture a significant proportion of the free nitrogen produced by the peas and retain it in the soil/plant ecosystem so it doesn't leach out over winter. Difficult to quantify the financial benefit of that without further research into the nitrogen needs of the wheat crop. The PGRO trial has partly addressed this but it is really outside the scope of the trial. I know they are trying to secure funding from other bodies to investigate it further. In the current climate where ags environmental impact is under constant scrutiny then this practice is an easy win for the industry. IMO growers should have a very good reason for not doing it.
