Nitrogen fixation, bloom timing before seed set, and winter-kill vs incorporation choices.
Winter Rye Cover Crop
Scavenge leftover N, allelopathy awareness before vegetables, and spring termination timing.
Hairy Vetch Green Manure
Cold-hardy biomass, trellis support on edges, and roll-crimp readiness for no-till.
Buckwheat Summer Cover
Quick weed suppression, phosphorus mobilization, and short window before seed set.
Austrian Winter Peas
Fall biomass, nitrogen contribution, and pairing with grains for stand stability.
Berseem Clover Cover
Fast establishment, high-quality forage or incorporation, and frost sensitivity for termination timing.
White Clover Living Mulch
Low-growing persistence, foot traffic tolerance, and nitrogen for adjacent rows.
Field Peas Green Manure
