Secale cereale, commonly known as rye, is a resilient annual grass characterized by its upright growth and blue-green stems. This plant serves effectively as a green manure, enhancing soil structure, controlling weeds, and minimizing nitrogen depletion over the winter months. It is particularly suited for empty vegetable plots, where it can be mowed and incorporated into the soil prior to planting or sowing vegetables. Seeds can be sown until the end of November.
