Brassicas
Rapeseed (Trophy)
Rapeseed belongs to the brassica family and is known for it's rapid, extremely high quality forage growth. Boasted for its nutrient scavenging abilities, rapeseed can accumulate large amounts of residual nitrogen. Rapeseed has an excellent, deep tap-root, ideal for breaking compaction. Of all the brassicas, rapeseed is one of the most cold tolerant, surviving temps down into the single digits. Rapeseed must vernalize to produce viable seed so if planted in the spring it will stay vegetative all season long.
