Setaria italica

Foxtail millet

Non-native nurse crop. Quick germination will hold soil and moisture in place, and restrict weed growth. Setaria italica dies off with frost and does not tolerate mowing. Use simultaneously with one of our native seed mixes. We recommend a rate of 5-50 pounds per acre (or 20-50% of your overall mix). It is best suited for spring or summer seeding.
