Summer Alfalfa Cover Crop Seed
Summer Alfalfa Cover Crop Seed
Fast-growing alfalfa with high forage and biomass yield.
Long taproots break up compacted soil and bring up subsurface minerals. High nitrogen fixation and great bee forage. Sow early to midspring or in late summer (best time for weed competition), 1/2 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (15-20 lb./acre) alone. Use half this rate when mixed with grain/grass. Inoculate with Alfalfa/True Clover Inoculant (#7535) for best performance. Avg. 216,000 seeds/lb.

Growing Information: A finely prepared seed bed will guarantee the best stand. Provide adequate moisture to improve germination. Seed early in the season so germination will preclude weeds, since it does not compete well with weeds early in the establishment sequence. Nitrogen production is up to 200 lb/acre.
FOR GREEN MANURE: For best results, till under when in the flowering stage.
SEED SPECS: Planting rates are listed within each product description. Organic systems should plant 1/3 to 1/2 heavier to allow for some weed pressures.
