Cover Crop Variety and Seeding Date trial for Weed Suppression Under an Organic Management System

Mar 31, 2022

Video: Cover Crop Variety and Seeding Date trial for Weed Suppression Under an Organic Management System

Garth Beddome and Dunling Wang share their expertise on cover crops in organic management at the Conservation Learning Centre's 2021 Virtual Field Day. Garth is a local organic producer who is working with the CLC to conduct this trial. Dunling is the Provincial Specialist in alternative cropping systems at the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture. The objectives of this ADOPT funded trial are to demonstrate potential cover crop options in our region, determine how seeding dates affect their success, and show how no-till management works under an organic system. Garth and Dunling also briefly mention another cover cropping trial the CLC is working on that involves using different techniques to terminate a cover crop. We are looking at using a roller crimper, swathing and working in the cover crop, or simply tilling in the cover crop. We are looking forward to seeing the results of this trial. For more information on this trial and others, please visit our website at www.conservationlearningcentre.com, where we post reports and results of many of our trials.

Thank you to our Field Day sponsors the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission. Also, a big thank you to our CLC staff for working so hard this 2021 field season.
