Characteristics

  • An extensive mixture of grasses and clovers for sowing a grass strip along the edge of plowed farmland. Ideal for field margins, which are often less productive, for grassland that is used in a low-intensive manner and without inputs. These grass strips have become essential for the ecological network in the Walloon region.
