Cover crop after spuds.

Anyone do it ? Was thinking of sowing mustard as usual, but got to wondering about the potato herbicide. Reading the label ( Sencorex ) it seems it should be OK provided the ground is ploughed.
Could sow rye........but defeats the object as a cereal break. Anything else ?

Why don’t you want to plant ww? Too wet? When are you planting this cover?

Don't get on with autumn sown cereals, salt spray/ storms / monsoon. Probably be sowing cover crop mid-end August.

Unless your right on the cliff edge I would try winter barley, buy some fss and bang it in first week of October. Mustard should be fine with Sencorex, try not to plough it though whatever you sow, leave any volunteers near the top.
