About this item
- BENEFICIAL: Our Ryegrass Seed can be used as a cover crop in annual or perennial cropping systems, or as forage, hay, or a nurse crop for legumes and permanent grasses. It can often be grown under conditions where other cover crops fail. It is an excellent choice for soil protection and weed suppression because it establishes quickly and grows throughout the fall and winter.
- COOL SEASON VARIETY: Seedlings quickly establish a ground cover and are very competitive. Hancock's Ryegrass Seed flowers in late May to early June, and matures between late June to early July. Recommended planting time is fall and winter when night time temperatures are consistently below 65 degrees.
- TOLERANT: Hancock's Ryegrass Seed is suitable as a cover crop in grass waterways or riparian areas subject to flooding because it tolerates wet soils and temporary flooding. It is also commonly is used on poor soils, or on sandy or rocky soils, where it normally produces better growth than cereal species do.
- DEPENDABLE: Hancock's Ryegrass Seed has been used successfully as a relay-planted cover crop in both short and tall-stature summer crops. Its smaller seed allows better seed-soil contact under marginal seedbed conditions than with cereal crops, and it is better at emerging from thick harvest residue.

We're a fourth-generation family-owned and operated company bringing you 40 years of top-quality seeds at a great price. *Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.
