Organic Cayuse Oats Seed (lb)

A cool season, annual cereal grain. This cool-season, annual cereal grain is widely used to build organic matter, suppress weeds, feed livestock, and serve as a nurse crop for legumes. It germinates in 7–10 days, reaches 6 feet tall, and matures in 60–80 days. Montezuma Red Oats (Avena sativa 'Montezuma') mature earlier than California Red (Avena sativa 'California Red'), though with less biomass. California Red develops earlier than Cayuse White (Avena sativa 'Cayuse'), while Cayuse produces up to 14% more organic matter due to its leafy growth. Out of stock for the season, but Monida Oats (Avena sativa 'Monida') are an excellent substitute with finer stems, ideal for hay or forage. Application rate: 90–160 lb/acre. No inoculant needed.
