Crop Rotation for Weed Suppression - Organic Weed Control

For farmers who raise organic corn and soybeans, weed control starts with crop rotation. In this video, farmers share their strategies for rotating crops to interrupt weed cycles and suppress weed growth and reproduction, through planting perennial crops like alfalfa to including cool-season, spring-seeded small grains like oats to fall-seeded small grains like winter wheat, rye or triticale.
