Key Benefits

  • Great in Winter-Kill Mixes

  • Versatile

  • Mycorrhizal Fungi Host

Oats are typically spring seeded between March and April for grain production or as a nurse crop for establishing forage legumes. Oats can also be sown in the late summer or fall for a cover crop or forage source. Spring oats are an ideal choice for first-time cover crop users due to their compatibility and ease of winter kill termination. Winter oats are another choice as a cover crop with live roots going further into the fall/winter for increasing soil microbial activity, but they may have to be terminated before planting a cash crop in more southern latitudes.
