Technical details:
Botanical name: Medicago sativa.
Seed quantity: 10,000 seeds per pack, ideal for covering large surfaces or for repeated use over time.
Plant Type and Crop Cycle: Perennial. Its cultivation can last from 3 to 5 years as a primary forage crop or as an effective green manure crop to improve soil structure and fertility.
Plant height: Typically reaches 80-100 cm when fully mature, forming a dense, lush canopy.
Uses: Primarily used as an excellent-quality professional forage crop for livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, and horses) due to its high protein content. Extremely effective as a green manure crop for enriching the soil with nitrogen, contributing to a true "organic garden." Attractive to pollinating insects, it promotes biodiversity.
Plant characteristics: Characterized by deep, vibrant green trifoliate leaves and purple flowers clustered in dense racemes. Its culinary value is not as great as that of an aromatic herb, but it is unsurpassed in terms of palatability and digestibility as an animal feed.
Hardiness and Adaptability: A robust and resilient variety, it demonstrates good drought tolerance once the root system is well developed. It adapts to a wide range of temperate climates.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring (March to May) or autumn (August to September), depending on local climatic conditions.
Harvest period: Allows for multiple cuttings during the warm season, generally every 4-6 weeks, providing a continuous high forage yield.
Optimal conditions for germination: It requires a soil temperature between 15°C and 25°C and good constant humidity, avoiding water stagnation.
Soil type: Prefers deep, well-drained, calcareous soils with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH (pH 6.5-7.5). Tolerant of various soil types, but acidic or excessively compacted soils are not recommended.
Recommended exposure: Requires full sun to develop best and ensure maximum productivity.
Germination time: Under optimal environmental conditions, seeds germinate within 7-14 days.
Cultivation: Given its size and deep root system, it is mainly intended for cultivation in open ground, not suitable for growing in pots.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, selected to guarantee high germination and excellent varietal purity, ensuring vigor and uniformity in your crop.
