The Fast Growth Cover Crop Seed Mix is a multi-species cover crop mixture comprising Mustard, Oil Radish, Phacelia and Tillage Radish. The formulation combines brassica and flowering species to establish a fast-growing cover crop intended to provide protection of the soil surface and root growth.
The mixture is designed to support soil structure and soil biology while helping to minimise nutrient leaching, soil erosion and runoff. The supplied specification identifies the mixture for SAM2 and CSAM2 and states that it is intended to be established as a cover crop rather than harvested as a cash crop.
Sow at 12.5kg/ha in late summer or early autumn, using drilling or broadcasting into warm soils. The stated height is 20–200cm, with a flowering period of May to September. Establishment and management should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the applicable environmental land management action.
