One essential benefit of your layered mixes, in this time of insufficient CO2, is that multi-layered mixes capture more of the fungal nighttime exudation of CO2 required for the whole day's photosynthesis, which dissipates within two hours after dawn in a mono-crop with high air flow.
Thanks for the info fellars...I'm starting my first year cover cropping...I got cowpeas ,oats , buckwheat and sunflowers in with my corn....its like I'm looking into the future to see my results for all my hard work...thanks guys
@@johnlim123 it is but different varieties fair differently depending on growing zones. I plant oats in the fall but they don't really take off until the spring anyway.
Yeah. Thats my question. Crimson ia a winter cover right? And sunhemp is a summer? I tried a few summer and winter and it was hit and miss. My wheat didnt do well during summer
Preventing soil erosion and adding nutes back into the soil food web without adding fertilizers...its an organic natural way for our ecosystems to flourish without poisoning the land with chemicals....many more beneficial things too such as the insect control and nematode control...its the only way to go in my opinion if you value the land as much as I do..🤠
Brilliant cover crop and food plot strategy
