Description
Our Under-Vineyard Mix is an advanced and proven agronomic solution, specifically formulated for technical row cover crops in vineyards, orchards, and other tree crops. This carefully selected and strictly non-GMO seed blend is intended for winemakers, farmers, and industry professionals seeking a sustainable and science-based approach to soil management. With 10,000 seeds per pack, it ensures a dense, uniform cover, essential for effectively combating erosion, reducing soil compaction, and overall improving soil structure and fertility. It's the ideal choice for those seeking to optimize their land's productivity through environmentally friendly farming practices, ensuring high germination rates and easy cultivation.
Technical details:
Botanical name: Balanced blend of selected herbaceous and leguminous species, including annual and perennial grasses (e.g. fescue, poa, clover).
Seed Quantity: 10,000 seeds per pack, optimized to cover a significant row area at the ideal density.
Plant type and crop cycle: Mainly annuals and biennials for rapid establishment and effective green manure, with the addition of some low-growing perennials for longer-lasting cover.
Plant height: The selected species are characterised by a contained growth, generally between 10 and 30 cm, to minimise competition with the main crop and facilitate mechanical management.
Uses: Technical grassing under vineyards and orchards, active control of water and wind erosion, prevention of soil compaction, improvement of soil structure, supply of organic matter, fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (thanks to legumes), reduction of weed growth and increase of soil biodiversity.
Agronomic aspects: It promotes the formation of a stable soil aggregate, improves water infiltration and aeration, and supports beneficial microfauna. It has no organoleptic properties relevant to culinary use.
Hardiness and Origin: Selection of robust and adaptable varieties, resistant to moderate water stress once established, tolerant to light trampling, and less susceptible to common diseases. Certified and controlled origin.
Sowing period: Ideal in autumn (September-October) or spring (March-April), depending on the climatic conditions and the cycle of the main crop.
Optimal conditions for germination: Soil temperature between 10°C and 20°C, constant but not excessive humidity, well-prepared seedbed free of large residues.
Soil type: Adaptable to a wide range of soils, from sandy to clayey, as long as they are well-drained. It prefers soils with a good organic matter content.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or partial shade, typical of rows.
Germination time: Varies depending on the species present in the mix, generally within 7-21 days of sowing, with full establishment within 4-6 weeks.
Cultivation: Designed exclusively for cultivation in open ground, along the rows of vineyards and orchards.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (not genetically modified) product, with certified high germination to ensure maximum efficacy and coverage. The seeds are of high quality and freshness.
