Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Forage radish produced 3.9 to 6.6 Mg ha −1 of shoot dry matter when planted before 1 September.
- Observation Forage radish produced 1.3 to 3.2 Mg ha −1 of fleshy root dry matter when planted before 1 September.
- Intervention effect Forage radish did not reduce corn population or grain yield in subsequent corn crops compared with no cover crop.
- Intervention effect Forage radish provided complete suppression of winter annual weeds in fall and early spring.
- Intervention effect Corn yields were not reduced when forage radish replaced preplant burndown herbicide, as long as emerged weeds were controlled with a postemergence herbicide.
- Recommendation Strategies using forage radish weed suppression should focus on fall weed suppression and the early spring preplant window of weed control.
