Spring Triticale

 Get Spring Triticale for $.68 per pound! Spring Triticale is the spring planted version of the hybrid between rye and wheat, that combines the best qualities of both. Typically Triticale is used in erosion control, to capture excess N, and used as a cover crop. Due to its aggressive root system and early season growth, Triticale provides superior ground cover and weed suppression abilities. Rapid early growth after planting with good root mass improves soil structure. It has the potential to produce tonnage that will be a good weed competitor as well as offering the opportunity to graze in the fall and winter months making it a dual purpose species. Spring Triticale is typically more drought tolerant than other varieties.
