[QUOTE="TelesnaAg, post: 5763314, member: 8059"] If planting broadleaf / barrisica species for cover crop which are more hungry for K than say a Cereal or just in general - that amount of biomass would mean that a % of K from the soil is now laying on top of the ground, for that to return in time for the Beans to use maybe a stretch - so personally id be nervous because if you miss producing flowers its not like a cereal where an N shot can get you off the hook. This would be a classic scenario where someone tried cover crops then complained of lower yields, until the K levels or any nutrient for that matter i would be still adding in some until you can afford to leave the overflow on the deck in form of plant matter. In a few years with testing should reach a plateau where not having to add stuff all in. Thats only my opinion. Also if sowing early and beans get going before winter will they get leggy? chasing sunlight being buried amongst cover crop - just a thought?? Cheers, Ant [/QUOTE]
