Bayou is a medium maturing forage brassica with good winter hardiness and a smooth leaf with a nutty flavor that is sweet to human taste. This kale has a smaller stem compared to kale yet grows to height of eight feet when taken for seed production.
Product Details
- Excellent regrowth
- Forage brassica
- Good winter hardiness
- Great for food deer food plots
- Protects soil from erosion
Product Information
In preliminary trials, the tap root of Bayou is very promising for opening up the soil. When planted in late summer or early fall, Bayou Kale is considerable more winter hardy than radish; this helps protect the soil longer from erosion. Initial observations show that when it was grown for cover, it reduced Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome and possibly reduced white mold.
The spring green-up of Bayou Kale is similar to forage rapes. Seed size and crop management of Bayou are similar to other brassicas, like turnips. Bayou should be planted between July and August for the Midwest, or between September and October for the South.
Plant in the Fall at a rate of 5 - 7 lbs per acre. This seed needs to be at a rate of 1/4 and prefers a pH of 5.8 - 6.
