Rapid Growth, Lasting Benefits
Field peas and oats work together to establish a living blanket that shields soil from erosion, suppresses weeds, and captures excess nutrients before they can escape. Pea roots pull nitrogen from the atmosphere to enrich the soil, while oat biomass adds fibrous organic matter that improves structure, tilth, and water retention. In just 60 to 90 days, the mix reaches maturity, naturally winterkilling in most zones to leave behind soft, nutrient-rich residue. Crews save time during spring prep, and sites gain healthier, more resilient soil for subsequent planting or no-till operations.
Versatile, Crew-Friendly Specs
Engineered for consistent performance across diverse conditions, 21-113 can be drilled at 30.16 seeds per square foot into firm, moist seedbeds for even coverage, or broadcast with light incorporation on areas with limited equipment access. Its 45% forb and 55% grass composition scales seamlessly from small test plots to large infrastructure corridors, delivering high-protein forage from peas during peak growth and simplified project closeout with no extra termination steps required.
Reliable Soil-Building Performance
Use 21-113 on its own for temporary cover and soil enrichment, layer it under perennials to nurse future plantings, chop it green for nutrient-dense compost, or graze lightly to add operational value. Each application supports NRCS 340 compliance and stormwater standards, giving estimators and project managers a dependable, field-tested tool that secures bids and enhances long-term soil health. With 21-113 on site, you’re not just covering soil—you’re building it for the seasons ahead.
