The problems with weed control in-gamecover crops usually arise because the combination of several different crop species in the mixture, it can make it difficult to find herbicides that are safe to all the components. Weed pressure is also increased when cover crops are sown on the same piece of land for a number of years.

80% Black Oats
15% Vetch
5% Phacelia
This mixture performs very well for autumn sowings and is our most popular for EFA compliant situations.
It produces a huge biomass with the rapid growth from the black oats whilst also producing a mat of fiborous roots. We use Panache black oats as this late variety will reduce the chances of early sown crops producing a seed head with viable grain.
The Nacre vetch will grow vigorously and fix Nitrogen in the soil. The small seeded phacelia is quick to establish, deep rooting and branches to produce good ground cover.
The mixture is not frost hardy and all will collapse after a keen frost, helping to speed up the mineralisation process.
