Herbicide Options for Planting Forage Cover Crops after Corn and Soybean
Cover crop adoption is continuing to increase throughout Nebraska. Respondents to the 2015 cover crop survey conducted during Nebraska extension meetings indicated the top five desired benefits from cover crops are
- building soil organic matter,
- reducing soil erosion,
- increasing soil water-holding capacity,
- producing forage, and
- improving soil microbial biomass.
While all of these benefits will improve cropping system productivity and sustainability over time, the direct economic value of cover crops is difficult to determine. For this reason, many producers are grazing or haying cover crops to offset the expense while still capturing the longer term benefits. An important consideration of using these forage cover crops following corn or soybean is that herbicide label rotation restrictions from the agronomic crop MUST be followed to avoid potential carryover to animals consuming this forage. The recommendations in this article are for forage cover crops because the requirements to integrate them in a herbicide program are most restrictive.
Herbicide Label Plant-Back Restrictions
Most herbicide labels list crop rotation intervals or plant-back restrictions that limit how soon a subsequent crop can be planted after a herbicide application. It is important to note that this is different from the grazing or forage restrictions posted on a herbicide label for crops to which a herbicide is directly applied. When planning a fall-planted forage cover crop following corn or soybean, a herbicide crop rotation interval or plant-back restriction should be short enough to allow the forage cover crop to establish before winter. If the forage cover crop species you intend to plant is not listed on the label, you must follow the rotation restriction listed for “other crops.” In addition, the rotation restriction for a forage cover crop mixture is dictated by the species in the mixture with the longest restriction. Meeting these restrictions can become challenging as replant restrictions may fall outside the ideal fall planting window. Hail or other crop damage, seed corn, and silage corn all provide opportunities for earlier forage cover crop planting; however, care must still be taken to observe herbicide plant-back restrictions.
Herbicide persistence in the soil is affected by several environmental factors and ultimately, herbicide residues can inhibit forage cover crop growth or cause crop failure. Furthermore, herbicide residues can be taken up into forage cover crops and either be directly toxic to livestock or accumulate in their fat, meat, milk, or other tissues and pass into the human food supply. For labeled crops, studies have been conducted to identify safe replant intervals that prevent bioaccumulation of herbicides. In the case of non-labeled crops such as many cover crops or “other crops,” these tests were not conducted. In this case, labels list the longest plant-back restriction where herbicide companies can be confident potential herbicide carry-over effects are negligible. Without crop-specific tests, the risk for herbicide toxicity to animals consuming cover crop forage or herbicide residues in human food is unknown.
As a point of clarification, if cover crops will NOT be harvested or grazed, they can be planted before the label replant restriction allows. Growers would assume the risk for cover crop failure. However, if cover crops are to be used as a forage, planting before the label replant restriction permits violates federal law. An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered herbicide label is a legal document and must be followed.
Plant-back restrictions of forage cover crops will limit herbicides that can be used in corn and soybean cropping systems. Many pre-emergence herbicides that allow fall planting of a forage cover crop have a four-month restriction interval. To compensate for this, consider planting forage cover crops in the earliest planted, sprayed, and harvested fields. Additionally, to avoid selection for herbicide-resistant weeds due to repeated application of the same herbicide, fields in which forage cover crops are planted should be rotated so that a broader range of herbicides can be used during the non-forage cover crop year.
It can be challenging to decipher herbicide label information when deciding which herbicides to use with forage cover crops. Restrictions are listed for common pre-emergence and post-emergence corn and soybean herbicides. When tank-mixing herbicides, follow the most restrictive interval listed on all the labels.
Integrating forage cover crops into your cropping system can provide economic and agronomic benefits. To maximize these benefits, it is important to consider how your herbicide program may impact the use of forage cover crops in your cropping system.

i This will restrict the post-emergence application of Pursuit in soybean if growers intend to plant alfalfa, cereal rye, clover, or wheat in the fall.
j A rotational interval for most cover crops is four months if soil is tilled prior to planting, and eight months if no tillage is performed. See herbicide label for instructions.
k Can be applied at 1 fl oz/ac if the organic matter content of the soil is less than 2%. This herbicide will provide limited broadleaf control at this rate. Coarse soils with less than 2% organic matter require a minimum preplant interval of 30 days for planting soybean.
l Rotation intervals for Valor SX vary depending on the applied rate of herbicide; see label for full restrictions.
m Valor XLT in Nebraska can only be applied in soybean fields south of route 30 and east of route 281.
