Improvement of soil structure

Mixture TGS D strukt 1 Improvement of soil structure

  • Plants of this mixture do not only produce a great yield of biomass, but their root system loosens the soil at various depths, promoting a better balance between water and air
  • The roots of linseed, sunflower, tillage radish reach deeper layers of the soil, the roots of fodder radish and white mustard reach a shallower layer, while the roots of bristle oat loosen top layer of the soil
  • The dead roots of tillage radish leave cavities in the soil bed, which improves the penetration of water, air into the deeper layers of the soil, and promotes soil biota activity
  • Legumes (15 %) fix nitrogen, bristle oat suppresses soil pathogens
