It is also a strong nitrogen scavenger: the roots take up nitrogen left in the soil after a crop, and much of it is released to the next crop as the residue breaks down, which can reduce fertilizer needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a bunch-forming grass with long, glossy green leaves (up to about 12\") that turn yellow-green near the base. Sow any time from early spring to late summer, then rake lightly to cover the seed. In cold regions it usually winter-kills but still protects the soil through winter; in milder years it can survive. When grown as a cover crop, terminate it in spring before it sets seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAverage 153,700 seeds per lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hensley’s Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"1\/4 Pound","offer_id":52343367270616,"sku":"HSC-COV-024-QTRLB","price":5.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Pound","offer_id":52343367303384,"sku":"HSC-COV-024-1LB","price":8.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Pounds","offer_id":52864620789976,"sku":"HSC-COV-024-5LB","price":21.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 Pounds","offer_id":52864620822744,"sku":"HSC-COV-024-25LB","price":62.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Pounds","offer_id":52864620855512,"sku":"HSC-COV-024-50LB","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/5705\/0840\/files\/ryegrass-cover-crop-tall-stand-field.jpg?v=1792510850","url":"https:\/\/hensleyseeds.com\/products\/ryegrass-cover-crop-seed","provider":"Hensley’s Seed Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
