We are interested in finding a cover crop which can be used in
rhubarb production. This cover crop would be used during the
first year (implantation of the rhubarb) to reduce soil erosion
but mostly to compete perrenial weed grass (quackgrass). We are
aiming to use the cover crop to prevent perrenial colonization of the
field until rhubarb is able to compete, after a year. Did anyone
have tried species in that situation, when and how was it seeded
and what were the results ? The species would have to be winter killed
after the season of implantation, so no mecanical control is required
the following year.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
