Purple Top Turnip Seed Supplier

As your trusted Purple Top Turnip Seed Supplier, we recommend this brassica as an affordable plant to put in the ground when nutrient scavenging is wanted.. Purple top turnips provide high energy and protein to cattle when grazed. This turnip can handle three days of 15°F temperatures before it finally is killed off. Since turnips are often put in mixes that will be grazed, it is important to note that since they are great at scavenging nitrogen and storing it in their tuber, high nitrates might be a concern if the mixture is brassica heavy or they field has a high concentration in one section of it. The top 1/3rd of the turnip will remain out of the ground, making it easier to pull and eat for livestock which could lead to some choking hazards in smaller livestock.

Nitro Radish Seed Supplier

When you partner with a leading Nitro Radish Seed Supplier, you gain access to one of the most popular cover crop species, renowned for the numerous benefits they provide above and below ground. The big taproot that they produce is great for breaking up compaction and at the same time is fantastic for scavenging nitrogen from deep in the ground. There are two common types of radishes: daikon and oilseed. The daikon radish is geared towards putting on the big taproot and at the same time putting out a solid amount of above ground mass which is perfect for fall grazing. The oilseed is great for suppressing nematode populations, but still provide lateral taproots coupled with a fibrous root system. The “Nitro Radish” is one of the most requested and recognizable radish names there is.

African Cabbage Seed Supplier

When you choose North 40 Ag as your African Cabbage Seed Supplier, you get a brassica with a taproot that closely resembles rapeseed rather than radish.. A benefit to having this brassica instead of the others, is that when it’s life cycle is complete, it has a higher carbon to nitrogen ratio than the others, which makes for great residue and organic matter building. In addition to residue building, African cabbage has been noted as being fairly heat tolerant and performing well even on poor soils.
