Diverse, partly winter hardy cover crop

Profile

MaizePro DT is a diverse cover crop mixture, developed for use prior to silage or grain maize. The mixture is specifically designed to support mycorrhization of the maize crop and to promote a diverse and fertile soil ecosystem. Deep-rooting species prevent soil compaction and protect against erosion. With approximately 45 % legumes in the seed share, MaizePro DT promotes a balanced, narrow C/N ratio and increased nitrogen fixation. The winter hardy species – winter rye, winter vetch, white clover and crimson clover – help to conserve nutrients until spring.

Other mixtures in the MaizePro DT range:

- MaizePro DT 50: Our best-selling mixture, with a higher proportion of legumes

- MaizePro DT 30: With a reduced proportion of legumes
