Broadleaves
Buckwheat (Mancan)
Buckwheat is a fast establishing broadleaf that works great as a warm season cover crop. Buckwheat is also known for being a phosphorus scavenger. This means it can take up phosphorus more efficiently than other plants. Being a short season plant with 45-60 day maturity, it can produce viable seed throughout the growing season. In a situation where a buckwheat plant is grazed, it can drop a seed down to take that previous plant's spot to help prevent weeds. Additionally, buckwheat is fast to flower, making it a great species for pollinators.
