Why choose M-Valo winter forage cover crop?
-
The ideal winter cover crop for late September and October sowing:
- Stooling rye has a good establishement in autumn and offers a high biomass potential thanks to its strong tillering capacity. It is a hardy specie that is disease resistent and winter hardy.
- The legume varieties in this mixture bring a consistent high legume content for most soil and climatic conditions. ALDO and NICKEL have been specifically bred for their ability to grow in mixtures with grasses (early varieties), while the late flowering hairy vetch SAVANE secures the presence of legumes in the mixture in case of a harsh winter.
An early and high-quality forage production:
- M-VALO should be harvested from April to May, depending on the area and the expected production or quality goals. In the case of a significant autumn production, baling during November is recommended.
- The harvested forage has excellent nutritional values: the earliness of ALDO and NICKEL maximizes protein content in the case of very early cutting, while TONUS's late heading behaviour secures quality in case of a late harvest (April).
A mixture that optimizes crop rotation:
- M-VALO is harvested early and his an excellent previous crop for spring crops: minimal regrowth of stooling rye, limited surface soil drying due to the deep root system of stooling rye, and nitrogen carryover thanks to the legumes.
- M-VALO is also an excellent mix to be oversown with a grass mixture in autumn: it reduces weed pressure, secures spring yields, and is easy to use (the low TGW of the species in the mixture make it possible to sow it together with a persistent forage mixture).
