Time for Cover Crops in Kern County Orchards
Orchardists should plant winter legume cover crops to maintain humus and improve soil moisture. Legumes such as melilotus indica vetches cowpeas Canadian fieldpeas and purple vetch are suggested with early maturing varieties ideal for timely incorporation before spring cultivation. Careful timing with fertilizer programs is essential to avoid nitrate competition and ensure moisture recharge.
