Winter hardy cover crop basis

Profile

Sometimes, individual solutions are required: Are multiple targets of cover cropping to be combinded, SoilProtect can be mixed with other TerraLife® mixtures, to include hardy components into the cover crop stand. If nitrogen fixation is the main goal, TerraLife®-N-Fixx is the ideal mixture partner. Another example is TerraLife®-Rigol DT as cover crop mixture including deep rooting components to target a profitable soil structure. SoilProtect's species composition aims to stabilise the soil structure and enhance soil life. Some farmers choose the mixture as undersowing in maize cultivation. The plant species in TerraLife®-SoilProtect tolerate shadowing and offer an winter greening after main crops such as maize. 

  • Rich in legumes and free of cruciferous plants
  • Ideal mixture partner with other cover crops
