SeedyChick - 12/17/2014 07:00 How can we have cover crops be the panacea for nutrient reduction, then turn right around and fertilize them and not expect enforced regulation of fertility to be the next step? If you are building soil OM with cover crops, that is a net sink for nutrients (fertilizers). There is no way around this. Now, if you are in an area that leaches nutrients away quickly (high rainfall, such as eastern USA), then cover crops will be more likely to improve overall nutrient efficiency in the near-term because the leaching is greatly reduced. |
