Phacelia
-
Use as a fall/winter catch crop/mulch. Produces abundant biomass and does a good job of catching excess Ca and nitrates before they leach into the ground water. Appropriate when it will be followed by a vigorous cash crop, like potatoes, in early spring.

Intercrop option with maize and sugar beet (data shows phacelia reduces the population of the sugar beet nematode, Heterodera schachtii).
