Rolled Winter Rye and Hairy Vetch Cover Crops Lower Weed Density but Reduce Vegetable Yields in No-tillage Organic Production (2011, result): “Walters and Young (2008) found that a dense stand of winter rye residues controlled 80% of common annual weeds; similar results were reported elsewhere (Liebl et al., 1992; Masiunas, 2006; Teasdale et al., 1991).”
Corn yield response to winter cover crops: An updated meta-analysis (2017, background): “WCC aboveground biomass can reduce soil water losses to evaporation or run-off (Clark et al. 1997; Truman et al. 2003), and WCC root biomass has been shown to improve soil aggregation, pore size distribution, and plant available water (Villamil et al. 2006).”
