Super Summer with Vetch Cover Crop mix is a five species mix consisting of Babala/Pearl millet, Annual Sorghum, Cowpeas, Dry beans and Vetch. Some of the benefits of the Super Summer with Vetch Cover Crop Mix are that it improves soil quality by increasing soil organic matter, increases soil fertility, suppresses weeds and nematodes, reduces soil erosion, improves water infiltration and retention, creates a better seedbed for planting, and increases organic carbon content.
Babala / Pearl Millet
Babala is a annual summer forage crop. It has an extensive root system and can thrive in wide variety of growing conditions. Suitable for both grazing and silage.
Annual Sorghum
Annual Sorghum is a forage crop that is heat and drought resistant. It is excellent for grazing, silage, ground cover and erosion control.
Cowpeas
Cowpeas are annual herbaceous legumes that are indigenous to South Africa. It is very heat and drought resistant. It has root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen. It is excellent for forage.
Dry beans
Dry beans are annual legumes that are heat and drought resistant. They protect the soil from erosion and extreme temperatures. They have root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen. They are excellent for forage.
Vetch
Vetch is an annual forage legume with several benefits. It is a good pioneer species that increases soil fertility and organic matter in the soil. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen and extracts some heavy metals from the soil. It is adapted to acid/low fertility soils.
