    Seeding Rate:
    Mono (lbs./acre): 35-40
    Forage (lbs./acre): 40-50

    Seeding Info:
    Seeding Depth (in./with drill): 1/4.-1 in.
    Germination Soil Temp.: 45 F
    Bulk Density (lbs./ft.³): 44
    Aerial Application Rate: Not Rated

     

    MANAGEMENT:

    Considerations:

    Early planting is the goal with SF 125. More biomass equals greater nitrogen contribution. Because of peas’ larger seed size, broadcast or aerial applications are not recommended.

    Termination:

    In most environments, only the clovers will demand spring control. Both crimson and balansa clovers can be successfully terminated with glyphosate and 2,4-D. Radish will terminate with multiple nights in the teens. If radish survive, glyphosate and 2,4-D provide effective control.

    • Designed as a nitrogen booster in front of grass cash crops; decreased spring management needed
    • Oats work as a carrier, but also keep nitrogen from leaching or leaving the system
    • Nitrogen production will be widely varied, based on planting date, climate, spring termination date, etc.
    • Heavy legume seed mix will work in grazing environments, supplying high protein and digestibility
