Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mulch as a weed control strategy in silage maize production.
  • Assessment of cover crops' impact on weed pressure
  • Analysis of weather conditions affecting cover crop development
  • Evaluation of maize sowing timing and its effects on yield
  • Cover crops significantly reduce weed pressure in maize.
  • Adverse weather conditions can hinder cover crop growth, delaying maize planting.
  • Delayed sowing due to poor cover crop development is linked to yield losses in maize.

Abstract

• Vigorous, winter-hardy cover crops reduce weed pressure in maize • Cooler, wetter conditions can slow down cover crop development, potentially delaying maize sowing and resulting in yield losses
