Brassica rapa 50-70 days. A cross between a forage turnip and a forage rape. Fall-sown turnips do an excellent job of suppressing weeds and are efficient miners and recyclers of existing nutrients in the soil. When turned under, they decompose very quickly. Livestock and deer can survive quite nicely all winter long dining on this high protein forage source. Pacer was bred for fast, vigorous establishment and quick maturity. It also has more leaf structure than most other forage turnips and is multi-crowned for improved re-growth potential even after aggressive animal foraging. The high leaf-to-bulb ratio results in a very leafy crop with high digestibility your livestock will love. Sow spring to late summer. Recommended seeding rate: 1/4 pound per 1000 square feet; 5-7 pounds per acre.

Available only in the contiguous US.
