NutriBuilder Mix

N-Vest® NutriBuilder Mix is a combination of winterhardy Annual Ryegrass, AU Robin Crimson Clover, and GroundHog cover crop Radishes. This mix both produces and scavenges nitrogen.

Benefits of NutriBuilder Mix

  • Produces Nitrogen: A good stand of this mix should produce up to 60-100 pounds of N/acre.
  • Scavenges Nitrogen: Tests have shown GroundHog Cover Crop Radishes have scavenged as much as 130 pounds of N/acre (tops and tubers combined with manure applied). According to multi-state research, Annual Ryegrass can scavenge well over 300 pounds of N/acre.

Planting Tips

  • Planting Rate: 20-25#/acre
  • Planting Depth: 1/2" - 3/4" deep
  • Planting Time: July to early September (plant at least 6 weeks before killing frost)
