Cover Crop
Termination
SPRAYING TERMINATION
Timing of herbicide application is critical for contact
and systemic chemicals. Only spray when plants are
actively growing (usually late morning through early
afternoon) and temperatures are warm. Always consult
the label and discuss your chemical applications with
your local co-op or chemical expert.
TILLAGE/MOWING TERMINATION
Allow cover crops to develop as much as possible to
grow the most biomass, build soil, and fix nitrogen. The
closer to reproductive maturity, the better depending
on the situation. Ease of termination by mowing/tillage
will depend on the cover crop species, growth stage,
timing of passes, and the following crop.
GRAZING TERMINATION
Nearly all cover crops and cover crop mixes can be
grazed and will provide excellent forage. Proper
management is critical to ensure correct time of
grazing, utilization rate, and grazing height. Success
of kill by grazing will depend on cover crop species,
growth stage, and timing of grazing events.
