Subject: Winter Rye, Corn and Insects
If you would like to access a searchable archive of the all the previous Mich-Organic listserv postings copy this URL and paste in your browser address field http://list.msu.edu/archives/mich-organic.htmlWho has had issues with corn insects in the spring following a winter rye cover crop?
What are solutions beyond in-furrow insecticide?
---a different cover crop?
---timing of termination?
---nitrogen application timing?
---tillage versus no tillage?
---a cover crop mix?
---corn genetics?Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah
