Information About

Nurse Crop




Nurse crops reduce the incidence of weeds, prevent erosion, and prevent excessive sunlight from reaching tender seedlings. Often the nurse crop can be harvested for grain, straw, hay, or pasture.
Oat s are the most common nurse crop, though other annual grains are also used.
