NOFA/Mass Winter Conference Highlight - When and How To Kill (Winter) Cover Crops

With Arthur Siller

In this episode we’re drawing another highlight from our annual NOFA/Mass Winter Conference that happened remotely in January 2022. We join University of Massachusetts at Amherst PhD student Arthur Siller as he outlines four different cover crop killing strategies that we can employ, and he also overviews our primary winter cover crops and their management strategies.

Arthur Siller is a PhD student in the Hashemi lab at University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s College of Natural Sciences Stockbridge School Agriculture. They have extensive experience in sustainable farming practices, doing current research on cover crop termination strategies to reduce off-farm resources and improve soil health.
