terminate cover crop: spray poison, kill weeds: spray poison, crop disease: spray poison, bugs: spray poison. are we growing food to sustain life or waging war on life?
Hi David- Many herbicides are not allowed under organic certification. You should check with your certifying agency before using herbicides on an organic farm.
Best ways to terminate for organic is roller crimping at the correct time, some species don't crimp well. The other is by intensive grazing. If you till or plow you'll lose a lot of organic matter, if you use herbicides it'll not only eliminate your opportunity to be considered organic but you also contribute to destroying soil biology.
No, this is totally commercial perspectives. What a waste. Send out pigs or cattle if you want to get rid of the cover crops. I just don't get his 'new' way of using cover crops. You spray you'll destroy the organic component of your soil. It's really crazy. Send out a mower but *spray*????!!!! Gawwddd....

Is terminating cover crops with herbicides recommended for organic farming?
