Abstract: Cover crop-based organic rotational no-till soybean production has attracted attention from farmers, researchers, and other agricultural professionals due to the ability of this new system to enhance soil conservation, reduce labor requirements, and decrease diesel fuel use compared to traditional organic production. This new system is based on the use of rye to create situ mulch that suppresses weeds and promotes soybean growth. In this paper, the author reports experiments that were conducted at home and abroad on cover crop-based organic rotational no-till soybean production, summarizes current management progress and gives an outlook to the future development in order to provide theoretical references for the current weed management of organic rotational no-till soybean production in China, especially in Heilongjiang Province.
