WINTER COVER provides very quick establishment and rapid growth for soil cover after a maize harvest, even at cool temperatures; it can also be established after a cereal harvest. WINTER COVER is flexible in the rotation, as it can be in from 6 to 24 months.

 

WINTER COVER is ideal for an early spring cut before being ploughed out for a spring-sown crop or used as a sacrifice field for early spring grazing as a more cost-effective alternative to rye.

 

Cover crop

An ideal cover crop for arable rotations, helping to improve soil health and structure. Cover crops can provide agronomic and environmental benefits with active growth, ground cover and habitat provision, and helping to reduce nutrient losses via run-off and leaching and soil erosion.
