Sorghum sudangrass can be a good cover crop for growing cabbage without tilling the soil. The researchers tested different ways to manage the cover crop to control weeds and improve cabbage growth. They found that mowing the cover crop helped cabbage plants grow better. Adding nitrogen before planting the cover crop didn't make a difference. The cabbage yields were low in 2003, so more experiments will be done in 2004 to figure out why and how to improve the cover crop management. Cover crops are important for organic farming and can help with soil health and weed control.
