Oilseed Radish
Cover Crop Seed
Product ID: 2906
Alleviate compaction.
As a cover crop, the extra-long taproot breaks up and aerates the soil in addition to drawing up nutrients for following crops. When turned under just before flowering, its decomposition helps to control soilborne pests, especially cyst and sting nematodes. Avoid using in close rotation with cole crops due to similar pests and diseases. Hardy to 20°F. Sow at 1 lb./1,000 sq.ft. or 10-20 lb./acre in the fall. Avg. 31,350 seeds/lb.
