SF 160 Rooting Mix
Soil First 160 Rooting cover crop mix is a practical blend of radish and ryegrass designed to maximize root mass and efficiently capture nutrients. This mix is ideal for breaking up soil hardpans while holding onto leftover nutrients, making it an excellent choice for improving soil structure. It offers flexibility for use before corn, soybeans, and other cash crops. The SF 160 Rooting mix is also compatible with fall manure applications, as annual ryegrass shows tolerance to salt variations in manure. In regions where it overwinters, annual ryegrass requires spring management planning to ensure optimal results.
