Field crops, locally, are corn, soy beans, wheat, hay. Specialty crops are things such as pumpkins, evergreen Christmas trees, neither of which I believe, have cover crops sown one way or another.
King's AgriSeed company recommends: "Aerial seeding into standing corn should be delayed until the kernel milk line is at least 50% formed. For silage corn, do aerial seeding several weeks before cutting silage, when the corn is in early dent stage. Sowing into other standing crops should consider the current weather and temperature."
USDA mentions that: "Interseeding a cover crop into corn during the growing season allows a cover crop to be established and ready to flourish after harvest (also adds the option for grazing earlier in the fall), versus seeding a cover crop after harvest and having a shorter window for establishment before winter."
Pioneer mentions: " crops can have positive or negative effects on grain crop yields, depending on environment, cover crop species and management. In general, legumes and grass-legume mixtures are better suited than grasses prior to corn, and grasses are better suited than broadleaves prior to soybeans." |
