Mancan Buckwheat

Description

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. 

Planting Instructions

Drill seed at 0.5" to 1" depth at 30-50 pounds per acre, or broadcast at 50-70 pounds per acre.
