[QUOTE="Simon C, post: 1695174, member: 319"] So what are you getting at? A dose of N on a covercrop would encourage it to suck more water out of the soil than if it was left to grow naturally? The theory being that the applied N would return to the following crop in the form of increases residue and not be wasted. Agree that a lot of seedbed preparation on clay soils is just to get them dry enough for the drill to work. There are loads of field round here at the moment where all the moisture has been cultivated out of them and the seed is now sitting completely dry, waiting for rain. [/QUOTE]
