TILLAGEMAX MIXESTillage Radish® + CCS OatsTillage Radish®CCS OatsTHIS MIX IS EXCELLENT FOR:3 Scavenging3 Reducinganderosionstoring(runoff,Nwind)3 Adding biomass3 Building soil structure3 Mulching for summer crops3 Generally3 SummerrestoringN productionsoil health3 Absorbing 3 Prevent manure plant acres nutrients3 Adding 3 Drought biomass resistanceFor Quick Fall Cover and Spring Ground CoverDOVER combines two excellent N scavengers – Tillage Radish® and CCSOats in this mix that grows rapidly in cool weather and is ideal for quickfall cover. Tillage Radish® breaks up soil, even in the compaction zone,with its long, singular taproot to create thick channels 30” or deeper.DOVER enhances seedbeds, provides more ground cover in spring, helpscontrol erosion, works to help control harmful nematodes, and willwinter kill for easy spring management.PLANTING TIPS & SEEDING RATEPlanting: Plant 3-10 weeks prior to first killing frostSeeding Depth: 0.5 - 1”Comparable seed on Drill chart is OatsSeeding Rate:- Drilling: 25 lbs/acre- Broadcast / Aerial: 30 lbs/acre- Precision Planting (15” with 5” in-row): 20 lbs/acre(Kinze Brush Meter with Backing Plate - 60 Cell Soybean Plate)- For Forage: Increase rate to 40-50 lbs/acreControl: Winter kills with 3 nights in the mid-teens. If TillageRadish® or CCS Oats does not winter kill, apply a combination of onepint of 2,4-D type herbicide along with one quart of glyphosate atflowering or heading.FORAGE POTENTIALTillageMax DOVER has the potential to produce high yields of highquality forage, and is excellent for grazing both dairy and beef animals.It can be made as hay if there are adequate drying conditions, whichcan be a challenge late in the season. A better option would be wrap orensile at the appropriate moisture for method of storage.TillageMax DOVER will have crude protein levels in the low teens to midtwenties depending on fertility and maturity at harvest. When planted inearly to mid August it will produce higher yields of higher quality foragethan DOVER planted early to mid July. It is possible that the oats willhead out if planted early in the season, and has the potential to produceviable seed if it is not controlled in a timely manner.TillageMax DOVER will be able to be harvested at the ideal time forforage. In most areas this will be from late September to mid October,depending on planting date.If forage production is the focus, seeding rates should be increased fromthe normal recommendation of 25 lbs. per acre to 40-50 lbs. per acre.1-800-767-9441 33 CoverCropSolutions.com
