Hi,

Does anyone have any advice for potential cover crops following beet treated with cruiser. Obviously anything flowering is restricted to 36 months, so from whats available, what will do the best job in terms of cover and rooting. It is not a big area, but messed up whilst lifting beet too badly for spring cropping. I do think that any cover is better than no cover. Any advice gratefully received. TIA

*Not an advisor* but as long as you take it out before it flowers personally I would say anything is fine.
