GroundHog™ Brand radish produces more root mass than oil seed radish or mustard's. This extra large root system allows GroungHog™ to pull nitrogen and nutrients deep within the soil and bring them back to the surface. According to University of Maryland soil scientist, Ray Weil, a radish cover crop will capture 150 to 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre before winter killing. Upon decomposition, the nitrogen up taken becomes available to the next cash crop. GroundHog™ Brand radish will scavenge other nutrients as well.

GroundHog™ Brand radish has 2-4 times the amount of roots as rye or rape. (at 10"-20") Upon decomposition, these roots leave large holes in the ground that improve water infiltration and soil aeration.
