 Brassica Mix
Graza fodder radish,
T-Raptor (rape x turnip), Hunter (rape x turnip), Barkant turnip,
Barabas turnip, Rival turnip, Rangiora forage rape, Winfred forage (rape
x kale) Grower Notes: The brassica
mix in the plot did not grow very well - we attribute this to lack of
nitrogen and possibly too much water in early stages. The population
rate was also way too high in this plot (15 lbs/acre). In our grazing
mix that we pastured, we used only 4-5 lbs of the brassica mix per acre and
it did much better. Brassicas really respond to nitrogen
and are an excellent way to sequester and cycle any excess nitrogen for the
next crop. |
