Revitalize Your Fields With Cover Crops
Cover crops are planted to manage soil quality, soil fertility, water, pests, diseases, weeds, biodiversity and wildlife in ecological system that is managed by humans to get better returns. The trend of cover crop farming is increasing fast as the results are much encouraging. Covering crops have been proved very effective in improving the qualities of neighboring ecosystems. Farmers may choose to grow specific cover crops according to specific needs in accordance to biological, environmental, cultural, economic and social parameters.
Covering crop is used in production cycles to serve different purposes:
- It is planted during primary stage of growing season. It is used as rotational crop.
- It is used as a companion crop and planted in-between the two rows of cash crop.
- It is used as 'catch' crop for the nutrients. It is planted after the harvest of cash crop.
- It is used as off-season crop generally during the winter season to protect the soil.
To get the true benefits, cover crop farming must be done carefully with scientific approach. For cover cropping we have numerous options. Selection depends upon the particular requirements, nature of soil, crop planning and weather.
Nutrients available in six covering crops can be calculated with the help of following table:
Nutrients available from cover crop
- Harvest the cover crop from 1 ft2 of field above the ground, dry and weigh it in the conventional oven at 112 deg F for 2 - 5 days.
- To calculate biomas of dry crop per acre, multiply the weight of dry crop by 43,560
- To calculate N of the crop /acre use following formulas:
Rye: (biomass - 17.4) X N = .0174
Hairy vetch: (biomass - 3.1)x N = .0368 X
Crimson clover: (biomass + 13.8) X N = .0183 X
Caley peas: (biomass - 6.1)X N = .0383
Subterranean clover: (biomass + 2.9) X N = .0252
The ultimate gains of cover crop farming solely depend upon different parameters so one crop proved good for a field can't ne be equally good for another filed. Many farming institutes, research centers and Govt supported agencies offer free consultancy to help the farmers. To take the benefits, farmers just need to take initiatives at personal level. So far results of cover crop farming have proved that farmers can turn the fortunes in their favor despite odd weather conditions.

how to increase my scrapbooking business?
i have been an "independent consultant" for a direct marketing scrapbooking company. i am NOT a sales-y type person, and since very few of my friends are already into scrapbooking, it's difficult for me to get business. i've started to think of quitting, but in a last-ditch effort have done minor paid search advertising. (i have a company-provided online presence, but they do not allow you to choose your own keywords or direct traffic to your site for free, outside of your existing customer base.) i've gotten a few nibbles from this, but not enough to justify the expense. i've also tried holding more crops and events for my customers, but so far, no one has come. i'm looking for some good "warm call" ideas or ways to reach scrapbookers - without lots of investment. any ideas out there?
I am like you, not a sales-y person. If not for the internet and search engines, I would have no sales because I don't like that aspect of business. But once in a while I get stuck doing fundraisers.
Put together starter kits in a pretty bag and hit up everyone who has ever gotten you to buy stuff from their kids. Tell them this is all they need to make a few special pages without a huge commitment. They also need to buy some to give as Christmas presents to their friends and family.
Unfortunately this is a great deal for the parent company because they don't have to take the risk - you do. I hope you will forgive me for saying this, but if you don't enjoy sales and you are not a pushy person, this is not the right line of work for you. Maybe you can at least earn back your investment.
