Plant this winter annual from September to October at 20 pounds per acre for optimal establishment and nitrogen production. The deep taproot system and natural nodulation process work together to capture atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into a form your soil can use for years to come. Farmers appreciate how this legume naturally reduces their fertilizer costs while building organic matter that improves soil texture and water-holding capacity for future plantings.
