FragiBlaster Cover Crop Radish

FragiBlaster cover crop radish is a great all-natural tool to help break though compacted soils and capture excess nutrients left over from crops like corn and soybeans. During the fall growing months, FragiBlaster puts down a deep taproot, opening up macro pores. On the surface, its wide canopy covers the soil surface. The roots break up compaction and the surface coverage reduces weeds and erosion.

Once winter weather sets in, FragiBlaster naturally terminates without any chemical application. As FragiBlaster decomposes, FragiBlaster feeds the good bugs in the ground and most importantly, slowly releases all the captured nutrients. Subsequent crop can take advantage of these “free” nutrients as well as the new root channels and water filtration.

FragiBlaster’s deep roots dig deep, helping alleviate soil compaction and mellow out the soil. Extensive roots provide new channels for nutrients and water. Additionally, as the tubers break down, they provide a valuable food source for the underground biosphere essential to soil health. For optimal soil improvement, use FragiBlaster in conjunction with other species, such as annual ryegrass and legume.
