Crop rotations and residual herbicides can help no-tillers diversify modes of action against resistant weeds and protect what remains of glyphosate’s effectiveness.
We found out this spring how important continually adding carbon into our soil is here in western Nebraska. With our somewhat low organic-matter content soil we really need to continually grow high-residue crops a high percentage of the time to keep the soil in good condition.
I’ve been discussing 10 tips for successful no-till crop production and thus far I’ve covered choosing a good crop rotation, winter wheat as the most important crop for supplying a consistent amount of residue to make the rest of the crop rotation function, and utilizing a stripper head to manage this residue.
A systems approach that includes a diverse crop rotation and a forage crop can no-tillers improve soil health and use irrigation water more efficiently.
