Sanet,
I'm looking for information or experiance in the use of Black oats as a
cover crop. I know this is very popular in South America, has been
tested in Alabama, and winter kills similar to Spring Oats. Benefits are
higher biomass and greater allopathic weed suppression. I am unaware of
anyone using it in northern areas of the U.S.
