I. Cover Crops
1. 2509G.36 Oats (Common) Organic Cover Crop Seed 2 X 5Ibs (16393/Ib)
Days to maturity – 100-120 days for grain production (Annual)
Standard choice with multiple uses. Early maturing and good standing with very high yields. A good choice for under-seeding with a legume. Oats are a quick-growing green manure. For winter cover, sow by early Sept. in the North, slightly later farther south; the heavy stubble will prevent erosion and oats will not regrow in the spring like winter rye. For grain production, sow seeds in early spring for a late-summer harvest. Sow at 3-4 lb./1,000 sq.ft., or about 150 lb./acre. USDA Certified Organic. Avg. 14,660 seeds/lb.
LATIN NAME: Avena Sativa
2. 2613.36 Fall Green Manure Mix Cover Crop Seed 2 X 5Ibs (52943/Ib)
Days to maturity – varies (Annual)
Versatile choice for late-summer and fall planting. This ready-made mix is comprised of winter rye, field peas, ryegrass, crimson clover, and hairy vetch. Vigorous late-summer growth provides winter erosion control. The peas, clover, and ryegrass will winter kill to provide organic matter and soil cover. The hairy vetch and winter rye will regrow in the spring to provide nutrients for crops to utilize. Because the seeds of this mix vary in weight and size, it is best seeded with a grain drill. Sow at 50 lb./acre or 1 1/2 lb./1,000 sq.ft. Inoculate with #9321 or #9359 for best performance. Avg. 40,000 seeds/lb. *Attracts Beneficial Insects, Variety attracts and supports pollinators and/or insects that prey on garden pests.
