COVER CROP MIXES


     Planting at or after first frost: With limited heat units re-
     maining in the season, only invest in species with overwinter-
     ing potential. Fall growth will be limited, so use winter hardy
     cereal grasses, and winter hardy legumes can be added if there
     is adequate time for spring growth prior to the next plant-
     ed crop. Timing of termination in the spring is an important
     management decision that will have to be made.
