Warm Season Broadleaf

Boost Nitrogen with Warm Season Broadleafs

Warm season broadleaf plants are going to typically be seeded when soil temperatures reach the middle to upper 50’s. This usually happens in late April to mid May. Most could be seeded into July and even early August, depending on the year and still provide satisfactory growth. There are some really good opportunities to produce nitrogen with some of these species and do some work on compaction as well with others.

Chicory

• Warm season broadleaf

• Perennial

• Upright and spreading plant (vine)

• Will form arbuscular mycorrhizal associations

• Attracts Pollinators it does not form arbuscular mycorrhizal associations

Safflower

• Upright plant

• High water use and good salinity tolerance

• Deep rooting plant that can aid in reducing soil compaction

• Effective at reclaiming mobile nutrients deep in the soil profile

• Will form arbuscular mycorrhizal associations and flowers attract pollinators

Sunflowers

• Upright plant

• High water use and fair salinity tolerance

• Deep rooting plant that can aid in reducing soil compaction

• Effective at reclaiming mobile nutrients deep in the soil profile

• Will form arbuscular mycorrhizal associations and flowers attract pollinators
