My fields are currently planted with Green Cover seeds summer blend and I am planning on no-till drilling GC's fall release in early August. Some of my fields have quite a few weeds in them right now, mostly grasses, that I would like to choke out next year by crimping in the spring.
My question is if I should add extra rye to the fall release to provide for better weed suppression in the spring? The blend calls for 70 lbs per acre so I am thinking that will be a light stand of rye in the spring? I have a boom sprayer that I can use next year if needed but the whole point of having the crimper is to be able to provide a good thatch and keep the weeds in check.
Should I add extra to the blend or run it as is? Any insight is greatly appreciated!
