N-VEST® Oat-Radish Mix Benefits & Info
- Simple and effective cover crop mix
- Perfect for scavenging leftover nutrients
- Should completely winterkill in the north; no lasting residue in late spring
- Heavy biomass producer; good for erosion control
- Great opportunity for forage production when given 70-80 days in the fall (a better option may be Forager Mix)
- Plant at least 6-8 weeks before a killing freeze
