Mixture of sidereal plants Dotnuva DEEP ROOTS NEW!
- Intended for use in green fallow or catch crops during the winter, on all soils.
- If left over winter, the recommended sowing time is until August 15.
- Very low seeding rate, easy to sow.
- The slow and low leaf growth of edible (root) radishes allows the bee phacelium growing nearby to compete and cover the soil surface.
- Freely available nitrogen accumulated in autumn and protects against leaching.
- Edible (root) radishes form deep roots, which, after decaying during the winter and spring, warm the soil faster, move moisture and nutrients in the soil better.
BENEFITS OF SIDERAL PLANTS
By purposefully growing sidereal plants, we improve the yield and quality of main crops, maintain and improve soil fertility in the long term, and have many other positive properties of sidereal plants.
Roots loosen the soil and form the soil structure;
- Improves outdoor moisture volume and increases rainwater infiltration;
- Good soil cover reduces soil weediness and protects the beneficial topsoil from erosion;
- Improves the phytosanitary condition of the soil;
- Improves soil fertility and promotes humus formation;
- Promotes beneficial soil life, e.g. earthworm activity;
- Legumes in sidereal mixes fix atmospheric nitrogen;
- Sidereal plants left in the winter conserve nitrogen in the soil and stop nitrogen leaching in the winter;
- Frozen cover crops are easy to incorporate in the spring;
- Flowering plants provide nectar for bees and other insects;
- Provides habitat and grazing for wildlife;
- Ensures biodiversity.
