While cover crops are useful for suppressing weeds, research finds they don’t stand alone as a tactic in the long-term fight against herbicide resistance
While the USDA estimates only about 10% of U.S. cropland is being managed with cover crops for various soil health and weed suppression reasons, recent research across the Corn Belt shows over-wintering cereal crop covers can significantly reduce weed biomass.
