Prioritize the rotation break
Cover crops can provide rapid biomass, biological nitrogen and a non-cash-crop period for integrated pest management.
Manage tight turnarounds
Protect the next vegetable crop.
- Use realistic growing days.
- Terminate before woody stems or seed set.
- Allow the approved plant-back interval.
- Account for nitrogen release and residue handling.
Make nematode claims carefully
Sample and identify target nematodes. Host status must be matched to the specific vegetable rotation.
