The allopathic effects of rye are spread throughout the root profile
deep tillage wont reduce it. The herbicidal effects of rye are greatly
exaggerated. I have never noticed any reduction of plant growth from rye 
cover crops. I have seen all kinds of weeds growing in rye. Its always a 
good idea to till under your rye before boot stage... Bob.

How long does the rye residue inhibit the sprouting of small seeded 
crops?  I could not get oats untreated this fall, so planted rye instead 
but am concerned about the suppression factor for early crops. We have a 
spader which can chop and incorporate pretty well if that is beneficial.
