Cover Crop - Phacelia

Phacelia is also valued for its ability to improve soil health. As a cover crop, it can be sown in the off-season to prevent soil erosion and suppress weeds. The deep taproots of Phacelia help to break up compacted soil, enhancing aeration and water infiltration. Furthermore, when the plant decomposes, it adds organic matter to the soil, enriching it with nutrients that are beneficial for subsequent crops.
