Collection: All Cover Crop Seeds

Choose Cover Crop Seed for Your Planting Window

Start with the season in which the seed must establish. Browse fall-planted cover crops, warm-weather cover crops, or year-round and longer-lived cover crops. Planting time varies with climate, rainfall or irrigation, winter temperatures, and the date of the crop that will follow.

Choose by Type or Goal

• Legume cover crops can contribute nitrogen when the seed is paired with compatible rhizobia and the crop is properly established and managed.
• Non-legume cover crops include grasses, grains, brassicas, and broadleaf species used for biomass, rooting, nutrient capture, weed competition, and soil cover.
• Peaceful Valley cover crop mixes combine complementary species for specific growing conditions and goals.
• Organic cover crop seeds are identified as certified organic at the product level.
• Soil-building mixes focus on biomass, diverse roots, and organic matter.

Check Coating and Inoculant Information

Review each product page for availability, seed composition, seeding rate, certified-organic status, and whether the seed is raw, coated, or Nitrocoated. Raw legume seed may require a crop-specific inoculant. Visit Seed Inoculants and follow the selected product’s label.
