Pre-Bean Mix

    Description

    You're probably familiar with using rye as a cover crop before beans, but why not add a little extra diversity for a whole lot of benefit.

    Rapeseed and flax both come from different plant families, (brassicaceae and linaceae respectively) bringing with them a whole host of new microbial diversity to the soil. This is especially helpful on corn and bean rotations where grasses and legumes dominate the landscape. 

    Try the Pre-Bean mix as a fall planted cover crop prior to planting beans in the spring.

    Use this mix to...

    • prevent erosion
    • build soil organic matter
    • improve nutrient cycling

    Ideal for...

    • row crop farmers
    • soybean producers

    These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

    This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi and RhizoBac X-Tend to increase the biological activity in your soil. Both products are OMRI approved.

        What's in the Mix

        Planting Instructions

        Drill seed at 3/4" to 1" depth or broadcast and lightly incorporate when soil temperatures are 40 degrees or higher.

        Timing

        For best results, plant 4-6 weeks before the first average frost date during the fall. Planting can continue even through the first few frosts but the mix will likely not grow much in the fall and spring growth will be only from the most winter hardy species in the mix, likely rye and rapeseed.

        When is the right time to plant?

        Pre-Bean Mix has a minimum germination temp of 40 °F. Reference your average soil temperature to determine ideal planting time.
