The authors of the report found that achieving cover crop biomass sufficient for weed suppression was a challenge if soil fertility levels do not support maximum cover crop growth. Crimped cover crops can cause N immobilization and reduced corn yield. However, when there was adequate soil moisture and weed control from the cover crop, soybean grown under organic no-till was competitive with tilled treatments.
