Radish (Nitro)
Rapid fall growth in short windows allows radishes to fit perfectly into a traditional corn and soybean rotation. Radish residue breaks down very quickly in the spring leaving a clean seed bed. The residue has been proven to inhibit small seeded annuals from germinating. Nutrients that were scavenged are readily released back into the soil for the subsequent crop. A field planted in radishes, will allow the soil to dry and warm faster in the spring. The large root channel left behind is rich in nutrients. It allows tremendous water infiltration and reduces water erosion by creating a path for crops roots to follow through compacted soil layers. During decomposition radish biofumigates the soil which can reduce pest and nematode populations.

Radish (Smart)
Green Cover Seed is proud to market the all new Smart Radish. It is bred specifically for the cover crop and soil health market with more lateral roots to help it grow further into the soil profile without heaving upward when it hits a compaction layer. The variety has a trait for higher plant tillering to provide more leaf area and higher plant biomass than many other radish options for forage, soil, cover and green manure. Larger leaves mean more solar collection area to harvest the sun’s energy, and the smoother leaf means it’s better for forage and grazing.
