[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 6607649, member: 79"] [SIZE=5][B]Improved soil structure, weed control and more efficient fertiliser use, are all benefits to be gained by growing a cover crop.[/B][/SIZE] You can take full benefit of an ‘added value’ cover crop after cereal or maize harvest, which will maximise your soils’ potential. Soil is one of your most valued natural resources, so it’s important to make good cropping choices that will help improve its properties. [IMG]http://www.lgseeds.co.uk/uploads/Page-6-1-768x1024.jpg[/IMG] There are many species of cover crop to choose from. Oilseed radishes (such as Edwin) have beet cyst nematode (BCN) resistance, as well as a very deep rooting system that will help compacted soils. White mustard is another useful cover crop; it is fast growing and if sown early, has bags of biomass.
