Cereal Rye (Secale cereale) is one of the most dependable and widely planted cool-season cover crops in North America, prized for its adaptability, vigor, and exceptional soil-building qualities. This hardy annual thrives in a wide range of climates and soil types, germinating in temperatures as low as 34°F—making it one of the few cover crops that can establish late in the fall or even through winter in milder regions.

Growing up to 5–6 feet tall, Cereal Rye develops a dense fibrous root system that penetrates deeply into the soil, improving structure, reducing compaction, and capturing residual nitrogen that might otherwise leach away. Above ground, its thick canopy quickly shades out weeds and provides excellent erosion control on slopes or bare ground. Once terminated, its substantial biomass breaks down into a rich straw mulch, protecting the soil surface and moderating temperature and moisture.

Though not a nitrogen fixer itself, Cereal Rye pairs exceptionally well with legumes like hairy vetch or crimson clover. Together, these combinations balance nitrogen capture and release—rye absorbing excess nitrogen while legumes contribute fresh, plant-available forms.

To prevent nitrogen tie-up, mow or till the cover early in spring before the seed heads mature. Whether for weed suppression, erosion control, or livestock forage, Cereal Rye remains a cornerstone of sustainable, resilient farming systems.

  • Application Rate: 90-160 lb/acre
  • Inoculant: NA
  • Plant Height: 5'-6'
  • Uses: Weed competition, erosion control, nitrogen absorbing root system, straw, attracts beneficials, forage
  • Facts to Note: Pair with other nitrogen-fixing legumes. Can germinate in soil temperatures as low as 34°F. Seed from late summer to midfall in zones 3-7 and from fall to midwinter in zones 8 and higher. Mow or till early to minimize nitrogen tie-up.

Great value and quality, runs slightly small.
This is a great deal and fit perfectly! My kid is more of a size 10 but I ordered size 12. It's only slightly big in the waist but the pants have elastic adjusters so we were able to make it work. It's great quality! We ordered yellow for a school play but I plan to order other colors because my kid feels like a million bucks in his new suit.

A great option for those looking to save some money!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Last May I got married in Alaska on a glacier. I wanted a suit/tux that would not only look halfway decent, but one that I could expose to the elements and not feel too bad about ruining. Luckily, nothing was ruined and it ended up looking great! The fit overall was relatively true to size with the jacket being a hair too narrow for shoulders. The material was surprisingly very comfortable and well made. I have a longer torso and the jacket was the perfect length as well. I've never been one to go all out spending a ton of money buying or renting a suit or tuxedo, so this was genuinely a lifesaver at the time. If you're in a pinch and need something nice to wear, or just looking to save some money, you won't be disappointed.

My Husband Gets SOOOO Many Compliments
Color: Royal Blue, Size: X-Small
My husband has a closet full of suits. I try to make sure he has 7 suits available to wear, so when his blue one started looking bad, I started looking for a new one, but with inflation money has been tight lately. I saw the price and the reviews on this one and thought, why not take a chance. Wow! I'm so glad I did. He loves it and he looks great. Every single time he wears it, people are like, where did you get that? That's a nice suit, and these are people who where suits (and their wives who know suits). The next time we need to replace a suit, I'm coming right back. He loves wearing it because he is always very comfortable and so far, it hasn't shown any signs of wear. The material is on the thinner side, but thicker than linen, and keeps its shape nicely. When we first got it, I steamed it, and I haven't needed to iron or steam it since, but he does keep it hing up when he isn't wearing it. Tip: use the size guide. I was very hesitant to buy a size as small as it was saying for my husband, but it was right on point. It is an absolutely perfect fit.
