Organic No-Till Roller System

Content Source: North Carolina State Extension

Resource Explained

This North Carolina State Extension webpage describes the organic no-till roller system, a reduced-tillage technique in which a cover crop is planted in the fall, roller-crimped at the appropriate growth stage in the spring and used as a weed-suppressing mulch into which corn or soybeans are planted directly. The page provides practical implementation guidance, including recommendations on cover crop seeding rates, timing, and more.
