viterra® Cover crop blend
INTENSIV N-PLUS
... the N-flexible Potato trio
Benefits:
- Reduction of viral Corky Ring Spot in potatoes with multi-resistant oil radish DEFENDER, rough oats PRATEX and spring vetch.
- The three partners complement each other ideally in rooting: tufted roots of PRATEX and spring vetch, as well as the taproot of DEFENDER enable rooting of the entire topsoil.
- As a legume, spring vetch provides additional nitrogen, from which the other mixing partners also benefit
- High flexibility with changing nutrient availability
- Fast-growing with intensive weed suppression
- Abundant organic matter vitalises soil beneficial organisms
- Moderate legume content of < 30 seed % makes use possible within the framework of voluntary agreements (e.g. water conservation)
