BEEKEEPING MIXTURES

Using cover crops around beehives provide extra forage, additional sources of nectar and pollen for bees, extending their foraging season. This is especially important during times when native flowering plants are scarce. They also provide diverse floral resources, habitat, and shelter, leading to healthier bee colonies. Cover crops also enhance soil health and reduce pesticide use, indirectly benefiting bees.

VINEYARD MIXTURES

Use of soil cover in vineyards help prevent soil erosion in vineyards, particularly on sloped terrain, suppress weeds which reduces the need for herbicides and manual weed control methods, improve soil health and enhance soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere, which can be utilised by grapevines, and support pest management. They create a better microclimate and can contribute to better grape quality by moderating vine growth, controlling yield, and influencing grape flavour development.
