TGS N fiks – Soil enrichment by biological N TGS N fiks 4

Soil enrichment by biological N, 55 % leguminous

Mixture TGS N fiks 4 Soil enrichment by biological N, 55 % leguminous

  • A high proportion of legumes in the mixture will allow the accumulation of a large amount of biological nitrogen, reducing the need for mineral nitrogen for subsequent crops
  • The roots of the narrow-leaved lupine will loosen deeper layers of soil, lifting nutrients to the top soil layer, promoting available access to other plants
  • Bristle oat and fodder radish will reduce the incidence of pests and disease pathogens
  • The plants of the mixture also are suitable to grow in lighter soils
