Cherukutty Sons, the famous cover crop seeds exporting industry was started 20 years back by Mr. Cherukutty. Cherukutty the founder of this organization is a famous planter and he wanted to extend a helping hand to the planters for better plantation. Cherukutty, recognized for his innovation and enthusiasm for cover crops, knows all about how they enhance soils and improve farming sustainability.
Cover crops are of interest in sustainable agriculture as many of them improve the sustainability of agroecosystem attributes and may also indirectly improve qualities of neighboring natural ecosystems. Farmers choose to grow and manage specific cover crop types based on their own needs and goals, influenced by the biological, environmental, social, cultural, and economic factors of the food system in which farmers operate
Cover crops are, easy to maintain, and earth friendly. In the end, cover crops benefit the soil, the crop, and the grower. Cover crops choke out weeds by restricting sunlight to the soil, stabilize the soil surface, and through their deep-reaching roots, help to break up hardpan and bring minerals to the surface for other plants to utilize. In order to ensure that adequate populations of the nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria exist in the soil, leguminous cover crop seeds are often inoculated immediately prior to planting. They will grow in fall and establish root systems that protect the soil.
Cover crops are low-maintenance compared to most crops, but they still need some care. Mowing keeps large cover crops manageable, and sorghum-sudangrass actually increases its root growth if mowed once or twice.
