Characteristics

  • Fast starter with good weed suppression.
  • Well-balanced mixture where each component reaches its full potential!
  • Frost-sensitive mixture, as the crop becomes straw-like, allowing sun & wind easy access to the soil so the field can be worked more quickly in spring!
  • Important advantage: produces virtually no seed as early flowering components are absent
  • Has no overlap with main arable crops (cereals, onions, ...), contains no monocotyledons, flax, ...
  • Very workable soil thanks to the presence of legumes (namely Alexandrian clover)
