      Phacelia

      Phacelia is a rapidly growing cover crop that will reduce nitrogen leaching and suppress weeds, with a beneficial root structure.

      Sowing rate:  5-7.5 kg/ha (2-3 kg/acre)
      Frost tolerance: Poor
      Biomass: Lower biomass than many other cover crops, but it works extremely well as part of a mixture and the recommendation would be to sow it with other cover crops
      Pests & diseases: Generally not a problem.
