A fall cover crop must grow enough before freeze-up to provide protection to the soil. The latest recommended seeding date for fall cover crops will vary depending on the weather, but used September 15th as a general guideline.

OBS

The sole purpose of a cover crop is to protect the bare, erosion-prone land from the wind. They are usually seeded after the harvest of a low-residue crop such as potatoes or in the spring to protect the soil until the new crop has grown enough to provide the land. Fall rye is the most commonly-used cover crop, although other cereals such as wheat, barley, and oats are also used.

CONT

Dans l’Est du Canada, peu de céréales résistent à notre hiver rigoureux. C’est dommage, car les céréales d’automne sont moins sensibles à la compétition des mauvaises herbes que leurs cultivars de printemps. De plus, elles contribuent à réduire le lessivage des éléments fertilisants en fin de saison, tout en protégeant le sol de l’érosion.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cultivo de cereales
CONT

Los cereales de invierno son: trigo, cebada, avena, centeno y triticale. Así cuando se pretenden usar los cereales para obtener el grano, estas especies vegetales han de completar todo su ciclo y recolectarse durante los meses de julio y agosto, en el caso que nos ocupa, lo que se pretende es su aprovechamiento en verde, en fase vegetativa y como es precisamente durante el invierno cuando la fase vegetativa de los cereales es máxima, será este el momento de aprovechar estas praderas.
