PROTECTS AND STRUCTURES YOUR SOIL
• RAPIDLY COVERS AND PROTECTS THE SOIL
Rich composition mixture allows rapid soil cover, limits salination and erosion
• STRUCTURES THE SOIL VERY WELL
The roots of the species in the mixture are very complimentary and structure different levels of the soil
• STRONG BIOMASS PRODUCTION
that begins before the winter and increases after the winter thanks to the vetch in the mixture
Mixture details
| Species | % Weight | No. kernels/m² at min density | Frost sensitivity at maturity | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bristle Oat | 20% | 23 | -10 °C | Produces biomass and develops rapidly, fast coverage, improves soil structure and traps carbon |
| Brown Mustard | 6% | 45 | -5 °C | Late flowering which avoid mustards to go to seed and reduce lignification. Quick installation, good soil structuration and take up the residual soil nitrogen left. |
| Phacelia Scorpion Weed | 8% | 90 | -7 °C | Versatile specie that will fill all remaining spaces in cover crops. Good for pollinators and not in botanical family of main crops. |
| Daikon Radish | 9% | 9 | -7 °C | Deep root to structure the soil. After destruction the roots will leave big holes in the soil for macro porosity. |
| Purple Vetch | 22% | 10 | -8 °C | More aggressive than common vetch when tempratures are warm, less productive in winter and more sensitive to frost |
| Common Vetch | 35% | 11 | -12 °C | Versatile legumes, fit for all soil and conditions, cover well the soil. Needs a tutor to avoid disease develpment |
