Sprinter ·Black Oat, Vetch
Specifically chosen for that early autumn sowing where high biomass is required but mixture is not required to overwinter. This is a short term cover crop that will be taken out by frosts but provides exceptionally quick coverage. Black Oats are exceptionally quick to establish but late to mature, reducing risk of unwanted seed shed. There is a large amount of biomass produced above and below ground with the deep roots of black oats. Vetch establishes and grows quickly in the autumn. Sow at 25-35kg/ha.
