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 # Kernels /m² Frost sensitivity at maturity Benefits
Phacelia 8% 90 -8°C Very good establishment, protects and structures the soil, a nest for pollinators
Brown mustard 6% 45 -7°C Late mustard, limits the risk of going to seed, less lignification, rapid installation and structure the soil, captures residual nitrogen
Diploid oat 20% 23 -8°C Fast coverage, improves soil structure and traps carbon
Common vetch 35% 11 -10°C Will take over purple vetch over winter until spring to cover the soil and produce nitrogen
Purple vetch 22% 10 -13°C Aggressive in the fall to protect the soil and provide nitrogen, easy to destroy
Daikon radish 9% 9 -8°C Structuring effect, nitrogen trapping, easy to destroy
