... the versatile beet blend
- No multiplication of beet cyst nematodes
- Intensive root penetration of the upper soil through complementary root shapes of deep, flat and cordate rooting plants
- Can be sown by broadcasting, phacelia seeds are pelleted so can be scattered to germinate in the dark
- Provides easily digestible organic material to activate and strengthen soil life
- Reliably freezes off so that dead plant matter protects soil from wind and water erosion over winter
- Creates optimal conditions for sugar beet mulch seeding
