Abstract
Complementarity and competition among multiple plant species are key to a successful intercropping system. A radish ( Raphanus sativus L.) cover crop may compete with soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] when it is incorporated into an intercrop system, although limited research exists in this area. Research was conducted from 2012 to 2014 to evaluate the effect of radish overseeding planting date with or without nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soybean grain yield, radish biomass production, and corn ( Zea mays L.) yield the following year (2013 and 2014). Radish planting date did not affect soybean or corn yields compared to a non‐seeded control. In 2012, radish production with an early planting date (last week of August) and adequate rainfall following overseeding produced greater radish top and tuber biomass compared to other seeding dates. In 2013, a shorter duration drought during August and dry autumn conditions kept radish biomass yields low, while a dense soybean canopy development and low autumn rainfall probably limited radish growth in 2014. Overseeding planting date affected radish biomass production, but had no effect on soybean or corn yields. Based on these results, farmers in northern Missouri seeking maximum cover crop radish yields should overseed radishes into soybean before 1 September when experiencing drought conditions and precipitation is in the forecast.
