Successful kale establishment is essential for producing a strong, productive crop. Our Kale and Utopia seed is treated with combicoat elements to encourage rapid germination and early growth, helping plants establish quickly in the field.
Growing kale with a companion crop can further improve crop performance. Trials with species such as phacelia, buckwheat, and mustard have shown that mixed plantings can often produce a stronger crop than kale grown alone. Companion crops help create a more diverse canopy and may reduce pest pressure.
When using companion crops, it is important to keep the seed rate low so the companion species does not compete with the kale for nutrients, moisture, and light.
Choosing the right drilling date is key to successful establishment. In most situations, later planting between May and July produces the best results, especially when seed is drilled into a warm, moist seedbed that supports fast germination and early growth.
