We've used the rye cover crop system for several years. If you
plant the rye population densely enough we found very little need for weed
control, even after 10 weeks. At that point the pupkin crop has smothered the
planting. We haven't worked with other crops so I'm not sure how well it would
work then. We don't use legumes, just grain rye. Out on the edges where the
cover thinned out, we did find weed growth but that was a function of low
population of rye.

They almost certainly used herbicide. |
