Dr Richie Hackett, a crops researcher at Teagasc Oak Park, is on this week’s Tillage Edge to discuss managing large cover‑crop canopies. 

He explains the range of control methods available and why timing of destruction is critical - particularly the timing of destruction for your crop establishment system. 

Richie also explains practical dos and don’ts for direct ploughing of cover crops.
