Research has demonstrated the potential of brassica green manures to help suppress some soil-borne pathogens and plant-parasitic nematodes, making Carinata a useful rotation crop before susceptible vegetables and cereals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biofumigation effect occurs when the plant material is finely chopped and incorporated into moist soil. As the brassica tissue breaks down, naturally occurring glucosinolates are converted into biologically active compounds that can help suppress certain soil pests and pathogens. Its vigorous growth also provides good ground coverage, adds organic matter and can assist with weed suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarinata can be slashed and allowed to regrow before final incorporation, helping produce additional biomass. It can be grown alone or included in green manure mixtures and is particularly useful in temperate growing systems. For ongoing rotation management, it can be replanted approximately every two years where appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrows to approximately 20 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 kg covers approximately 1,000 m²\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring and autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBroadcast evenly over prepared soil and lightly rake seed into the surface.
