So how much N should we apply to cover crops? I've been adding 30kg/ha as per Fred Thomas' talk but would more be better to get more biomass and more grazing? Certainly my grazing brassicas could take much more N and carry more sheep but then grazing would last longer and potentially cause more surface capping which could negatively impact the following crop or require a cultivation prior to drilling.So in other words, cover cropping is the way to go
It's a complicated business.
