SF 175 Accuspread Mix
Soil First 175 AccuSpread cover crop mix features coated clover and coated ryegrass designed for uniform spread patterns and consistent germination in broadcast applications. This traditional species combination effectively breaks up soil compaction, sequesters leftover nutrients, and enhances soil structure. It is a flexible seed mix suitable for use in front of corn, soybeans, and various other cash crops. The annual ryegrass in SF 175 utilizes CrosseCoat Technology, improving ballistics and spread patterns for more reliable germination. Additionally, spring management planning is essential in areas where annual ryegrass is known to overwinter, ensuring optimal growth and performance.

80% Coated Annual Ryegrass
12% Coated Crimson Clover
8% Tillage Radish®
TERMINATION
Radish will terminate with multiple nights in the teens. If radish overwinters, glyphosate and 2,4-D provide effective control. Crimson clover should winterkill north of Zone 7; if crimson overwinters, control with glyphosate and 2,4-D. For annual ryegrass termination, glyphosate by itself or with other grass killers can be used, but several key management criteria must be met to ensure success.
CONSIDERATIONS
Any time annual ryegrass is used, spring management has to be a main priority. Care should be taken to prevent ryegrass from going to seed. Annual ryegrass not terminated can have adverse effects on any subsequent grass crops. Use of blends have given ryegrass a bad reputation – make sure it is a single, respected variety. Multiple maturities make control more complex. Crimson clover may attract voles and may need to be terminated even earlier to decrease the residue.
