Dwarf Essex Rapeseed

Rapeseed is a cool season winter annual in the brassica family used in many cover crop mixes. It is easy to establish via drill, broadcast, or aerial application, is fast growing in the fall, and has a fibrous root system that helps break compaction. Rapeseed can be planted later than radishes, and will often survive the winter to continue soaking up nutrients in the spring. If spring termination is necessary, contact your Bio Till rep for suggestions on herbicide since glyphosate will not kill rapeseed by itself.
