SF 140 Multi-Purpose Mix
Soil First 140 Multi-Purpose is a versatile cover crop mix designed for livestock grazing, providing soil protection and biomass from fall through spring. Ideal for post-silage or small grain harvest, it fits well into various systems, particularly where leftover nutrients are present. This mix is optimized to maximize forage production through multiple grazing cycles, making it a great option for boosting soil health and supporting livestock on nutrient-rich fields.
Key features
- Designed for livestock grazing
- Provides winter soil cover
- High biomass production
- Ideal after silage or small grain harvest
- Utilizes leftover nutrients
50% Nitrous® Winter Trit
38% Winter Peas
6% Tillage Radish®
6% Forage Brassica
TERMINATION
Triticale can be controlled with traditional glyphosate rates prior to 12 - 18” growth. 2’ tall triticale should be controlled with roller or crimper. If mowing, wait until triticale begins to flower. Radish will terminate with multiple nights in the teens. If radishes survive, glyphosate and 2,4-D offer an effective control method. Forage brassicas will typically winterkill with temperatures below 25o F and collards are winder-hardy to Zone 5 (-15o F). Forage brassica can be controlled with glyphosate and 2,4-D.
CONSIDERATIONS
Designed for maximizing biomass on open opportunity ground late summer and/or early fall; can be utilized prior to any cash crop when taken off as forage.
