Smart Radish®
RADISH : Raphanus sativus L
A specially bred Daikon radish for cover cropping. This tillage radish helps reduce common soilborne pests and diseases. It produces large, light-intercepting leaves and a strong taproot with lateral roots that explore soil fissures and efficiently scavenge nutrients, while also supporting nutrient recycling through grazing animals.
⊕ ‘Pull-down’ bulb grows further into the ground
A feature unique to Smart Radish®, this increases water and air infiltration in soils, assists in reducing soil compaction, and allows for greater root depth in subsequent crops or pastures
⊕ Creates quick ground cover, reducing weed competition
Potential for less chemical usage in a pasture renovation phase
⊕ Bio-fumigant effects
Reduces soil-borne diseases and insects to benefit subsequent crops
⊕ Highly digestible forage source
Produces quality feed for animals
⊕ Large taproot and tuber
Enables the plant to withstand drier conditions compared to shallow-rooted forage options
Subzero

Custom blends
Build a blend as unique as your enterprise
We can work with you to create custom seed blends tailored to your agricultural system, rotation and growing conditions.
By combining the right mix of forage and pasture species, legumes, cereals and companion crops, custom blends can help improve biomass, ground cover, grazing value, soil health and overall system sustainability.
Whether you run a broadacre, mixed farming, horticulture or viticulture system, we can create blends to support inter-row management, weed suppression and green manure production between rotations. For example, a forage pea, faba bean, forage oat and vetch mix can deliver strong biomass production while improving soil condition and nutrient availability.
Speak with your local retailer or AlfaGen Seeds Territory Manager about building a blend for your farm.
