[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5145339, member: 2805"] Brassicas sequester soil nutrients into the bulb/ root. All those nutrients are released back into the soil for future crops once they rot/decompose. So it's a net zero for soil nutrients. The big benefit to farmers is reducing soil erosion as a cover crop in between cash crops (you lose a crap-ton of soil nutrients with erosion), aerating your soils with the deep taproot, and bring deep (12 to 18in deep) nutrients up to the surface from the subsoil that would otherwise be unavailable for the following cash crop.
