Organic No-Till with Cover Crop Roll-Down is Viable in Kentucky Research
Organic no-till with cover crop roll-down is viable in Kentucky research
Ray Weil: Let's Talk About Soil Health
We want soil to work for us, says soil scientist Ray Weil. We want it to hold water, recycle nutrients and keep diseases at bay. But we pulverize it with plows and expose it to evaporation and erosion. Now, does that make sense?
Weed FREE! An Ode to Rye
ON-FARM RESEARCH: RYE
Minnesota researcher Paul Porter is working with five farmers to figure out the best way to use a rye cover crop as an effective weed suppressant for soybeans. No-till planting in rye is looking really strong as a strategy.
Rye Lessons Learned Here at the Rodale Institute
We describe our own variation on planting soybeans into a rye cover. Hint: it involves a roller.
Organic No-Till for Vegetable Production?
It can be done--Virginia Tech professor Ron Morse has been trialing a wide range of cover crop species for no-till planting of organic brassicas, cucurbits, solanaceae and more
Choosing the Best Cover Crops for Your Organic No-Till Vegetable System
A detailed guide to using 29 species
Perfecting Organic No-Till Systems Nationwide
The Rodale Institute Experimental Farm receives NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant to build and distribute 10 organic no-till assemblies tailored to regional production needs
Planting Soybeans into Rye
In northwestern Minnesota, Robin Brekken, Lee and Noreen Thomas and other organic farmers are working to perfect a system for no-till planting soybeans into a standing rye cover. Despite ongoing unpredictable weather, the strategy continues to show promise.
These are Exciting Times!
Those were the sentiments of a group of researchers and farmers who met during the first week of March at The Rodale Institute's farm in southeastern Pennsylvania to initiate plans for further research into Organic No-Till.
