This document discusses research conducted by Rodale Institute on organic no-till production methods for vegetables. It provides an overview of several years of research trials comparing the impacts of different cover crop mulches and termination methods on weeds, soil quality, yields and season length for tomatoes. The research found that cover crops can effectively suppress weeds when terminated properly but may delay planting and can impact soil temperature and moisture levels. Results varied year to year, demonstrating the need for multi-year research to understand system impacts. The research aims to identify effective organic no-till systems to improve sustainability, profits and soil health for vegetable producers.

No-till farming and the search for sustainability in dryland agricultureIIED
A presentation given by Bill Crabtree to the International Institute for Environment and Development during a seminar on conservation tillage on 28 March, 2014.
Better known as no-till Bill, Crabtree is one of the most fervent promoters of no-till farming, having spent more than 25 years researching and extending these farming practices in his home country, Australia, and the world. He shared his experience on how he has contributed to convert large areas of abandoned degraded land into productive fields, and discussed the technical and institutional factors that supported this transformation.
The seminar was jointly organised by IIED's agroecology team and the Tropical Agricultural Association.
A video interview with Crabtree conducted at the same event can be seen on slide 105, or via http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9zFLNNH_sY.

This is some data from this year. As in years past the Rye has the most biomass, but if you notice the RV combo is less than 2010 2011. We are not sure why that is but it will be interesting to see what that means for this year.
