Call for price
Rise Up Rye is our leading cover crop species that excels in ease of establishment and winter hardiness. It is a winter cereal rye grain selected and produced for cover crop use. Rise Up Rye should be used in a crop rotation to prevent erosion, scavenge nutrients, infiltrate water, and suppress weeds. It’s quick spring growth also makes it an ideal feed source for early grazing or also harvesting for hay or silage.

Fertility
- As a Cover Crop no fertilizer is recommended. Allow Rise Up to root deep and scavenge for excess nutrients.
- If the crop is intended for Forage and Soil fertility levels are low, consider applying 50-75 lbs/acre of Nitrogen either at planting or during green-up in the spring to increase yield.
Management
- For hay or haylage, cut shortly after seedhead emergence for the best combination of forage quality and yield.
- If grazing, begin when rye is 12-20’’ tall and graze heavily enough to keep plants vegetative.
- If using strictly as a cover crop to be terminated ahead of cash crop, spray before rye begins the jointing stage of growth for most effective chemical termination.
Herbicide
To kill Rise Up, apply a full rate of glyphosate at recommended growing temperatures.
*Always read and follow herbicide label instructions.
