[QUOTE="cows r us, post: 7248923, member: 78044"] Personally I wouldn't be applying anything to a cover crop. The idea of them is to take up the excess soluble nutrients in the soil and convert them to om for the next crop. If the crop is struggling it will be putting on extra root mass to find more nutrients, it will also be trying to make assossiation with the many microbes in the soil to help make its own nutrients. Its not all about biomass with covers. Nitrogen fert is terrible for the soil biota so a cover crop with no applied n salts is a nice holiday for them to multiple and build soil health. Remember much of the stable carbon stored in the soil has been broken down by the microbes, look after them. [/QUOTE]
