Certified Winter Rye-Seeding Rye
Rye can be grown as a green manure crop, forage crop and/or for ground cover. Winter rye can be sown later and is not susceptible to frost.
Therefore, winter rye is almost always chosen. The crop is very suitable as a green manure crop after crops that go late.
It gives quite fast and good soil coverage and very good rooting of the building stock.
If the crop is intended as a forage crop, it is also called "cut rye"; if it is more for green manure, it is also called "leaf rye".
Rye is often sown mixed with Italian ryegrass. In recent years, much of the area under silage maize has been sown with rye or a mixture with rye after harvest.
The rye fixes the remaining nitrogen, keeps the soil covered during winter and provides a cut of green fodder in spring.
Rye is grown mainly on sandy and valley soils (both as grain and green manure) but also does well on sandy and clay soils. Wet and rut-prone plots are less suitable for rye cultivation.
Winter rye is also used for soil fixing on drift-sensitive soils including in the Veenkoloniën.
For quick ground cover, narrow row spacing is preferred. Rye as a green manure crop does not make too many demands on the seedbed. A light seedbed preparation is sufficient.
