Overview

Dwarf Essex rapeseed is a short season Brassica species. It produces more biomass than conventional rapeseed, while also producing better quality forage. It typically does not survive the winters in northern climates. Rapeseed has a very succulent top growth that is high in nutrients. It may be used for livestock in pastures or in wildlife food plot seed mixtures. Plant late in the summer for a very green fall forage; spring or fall planting is also an option.
