Q.Cover Crops
What cover crop grows fastest in summer?
A.
Buckwheat is the fastest summer cover crop, with germination in 3-5 days and canopy closure in 4-6 weeks. Sorghum-sudangrass produces the most biomass in summer windows. Cowpeas and sunn hemp fix nitrogen and grow fast in warm soil. All four work for short summer cover-crop windows.
