Nitro Radish

Description

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.

Planting Instructions

Drill seed at 0.25" to 0.5" depth at 6-10 pounds per acre, or broadcast at 10-15 pounds per acre.
