Our neighbor plants some winter cover on his fields when the crops have been harvested. This is a Dec 17 , picture after the radishes had been growing for about 90 days. Three to five pounds per acre does the seeding after crop harvest and a seed cost of 2.50 per lb. This is taken in south IN and the plants are still growing,some white leaves are frost killed, but green leaves still living, may not work in north Cornbelt. This also interferes with a rotation that has fall tillage in it.The herbicide program has to be adjusted to favor the radishes also. These root tubers have stored about 100 lbs nitrogen / acre in them by now and perhaps that much P also. The plant leaves have stopped soil erosion in its tracks from the heavy rainfalls we have been having. Is it better to have the N and P nutrients in our soils stored on our farms for 10 dollars over winter or have have them wash down the river to the dead zone at New Orleans. Imagine if winter covers were applied to all of the lower Midwest cropland where radish would grow.
