Bakke notes that soybean cover crops deplete weeds by starving jennie plants of light and roots. After five years of plowing and soybean cropping, infested fields show major weed decline though some soil washing occurred. Other tested crops like millet sudan grass sorghum and alfalfa were less effective at preventing weed seed production.
