Catch Crop Mix for Summer Cover
SW6 / SAM2 / CSAM2 / SOH2 / SOH3
Our most popular catch crop mix is designed for fast summer growth, effective nutrient retention, and short-term soil protection - making it an ideal fit for SFI SOH2: Multi-species spring-sown cover crop and SOH3: Multi-species summer-sown cover crop options. It is also suitable for SW6 / SAM2 / CSAM2 winter cover crop options within Countryside Stewardship and SFI. This carefully balanced blend rapidly covers bare ground, supports soil biology, and helps reduce nutrient leaching between cash crops.
It contains buckwheat, linseed, oil radish, phacelia, and spring vetch, offering quick establishment and a mix of shallow and deep-rooting species. We also offer a brassica-free version (without radish) for growers seeking greater rotation flexibility or brassica-sensitive systems.
Whether you are improving soil structure, building fertility, or meeting scheme requirements, this summer-sown catch crop delivers excellent performance across diverse farm and soil types.
