Roanoke, IN | This is later than normal termination. Works well at earlier stages too. If I use ryegrass before corn I will mix in crimson clover and terminate as soon as the ground is fit. Then wait a week or 2 to plant for it to rot down a little. The ryegrass really sucks up soil n and I don't feel I can replace early season n effectively.
I mainly plant soybeans after ryegrass. I will let it go as long as I can. I usually terminate and plant within a day or 2. It really suppresses early weeds. Giant ragweeds will be yellow and spindley. If not for the ryegrass they would be as tall as the tractor cab this late in the season (early June). I will run 1 pass with a soil finisher to prepare the seedbed after Salford.
It has worked pretty good the past 2 years. I found the rotavator left ryegrass root chunks in my clay soils that later acted like clods and it never made a good seedbed. In other more succulent crops the rotavator worked well but was slow. | |
