Rye is widely used as a green manure because of its many benefits. As a cover crop, rye helps suppress weeds by forming a dense canopy that reduces competition for natural resources. Its deep roots improve soil structure by promoting air and water circulation, while reducing erosion. As it decomposes on the soil, rye enriches the soil with organic matter , increasing its fertility and water-holding capacity . It also provides nutrients to subsequent crops by returning those it has absorbed from the soil. Often associated with a legume (vetch, alfalfa). Pack contains 750g = 50 m2

Rye Seeds (Secale cereale) - Green Manure

About Rye

Rye, or Secale cereale, is a hardy cereal grain that is widely used as a green manure crop. Known for its fast growth and ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions, rye is an excellent choice for improving soil structure and fertility. As a cover crop, it helps prevent soil erosion, suppress weeds, and adds organic matter to the soil. Rye’s deep roots also improve soil aeration and water retention, making it a valuable component of sustainable farming practices, especially in organic agriculture.

Why Choose Organic Rye Seeds?

  • Soil improvement: Rye’s deep roots help break up compacted soil, improving aeration and water retention.
  • Erosion control: Rye helps prevent soil erosion by providing ground cover and stabilizing the soil.
  • Weed suppression: The dense growth of rye outcompetes weeds, reducing the need for chemical herbicides.
  • Fast-growing: Rye grows quickly, providing immediate benefits as a cover crop and green manure.
  • Organic: Rye is grown without chemicals, making it safe for organic farming and gardening practices.

How to Cultivate Rye

  1. Planting Time: Rye is best sown in late summer or early autumn to allow for sufficient growth before the first frost. It can also be planted in spring in milder climates.
  2. Location: Rye prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate a wide range of soil types and growing conditions, including poor and acidic soils.
  3. Spacing: Sow rye seeds 1–2 inches deep, spacing them 6–8 inches apart for optimal growth.
  4. Watering: Rye is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during germination and early growth stages.
  5. Pruning: No pruning is necessary. Rye should be cut down before it sets seed or when it is no longer needed as a green manure.

Benefits of Rye as Green Manure

Rye is an outstanding green manure crop, offering numerous benefits to the soil. As a nitrogen fixer, it helps to improve soil fertility, while its dense growth suppresses weeds and prevents erosion. Rye’s deep roots improve soil structure by breaking up compacted layers, allowing better water infiltration and root penetration for future crops. Its organic matter contributes to overall soil health by increasing organic content and promoting beneficial soil organisms. Rye is also fast-growing, making it a perfect cover crop for quick soil improvement during the off-season.
