Technical details:
Botanical Name: A balanced blend of selected species, such as legumes (e.g., clover, vetch) and grasses (e.g., fescue, ryegrass), specifically designed for ground cover under orchards. These species work synergistically to enrich and protect the soil.
Seed Quantity: 10,000 seeds. A generous quantity, ideal for covering significant surfaces and ensuring dense, effective coverage.
Plant Type and Crop Cycle: Strategic mix of annuals and perennials. Annuals provide rapid cover and biomass, while perennials provide long-term cover and continuous soil improvement, promoting a sustainable crop cycle.
Plant Height: The species included are characterised by a low growth habit, generally between 10 and 40 cm, so as not to compete with sunlight or interfere with the growth of fruit trees.
Uses:
Weed Control: Creates a natural barrier that effectively suppresses weed growth, reducing the need for chemical herbicides and simplifying orchard management.
Soil Improvement: Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen, making it available to fruit trees. The entire mixture increases organic matter content, improving soil structure, water retention, and aeration.
Erosion Prevention: The dense root network and leaf cover protect the soil from erosion caused by heavy rain and wind.
Biodiversity: Attracts and nourishes beneficial insects such as pollinators (bees, bumblebees) and pest predators, helping to create a more balanced and resilient ecosystem in the orchard.
Sensory Aspects: This blend is formulated primarily for its agronomic and ecological benefits, not for its culinary organoleptic qualities. Its impact translates into healthier fruits and an optimal growing environment.
Hardiness and Origin: The species are selected for their high resistance to different climates and soil types, ensuring reliability in various environments. The seeds are sourced from controlled sources and certified non-GMO.
Sowing and Harvesting Period: Sowing is recommended in spring (March-May) or fall (September-October) to maximize coverage and nutrient supply. There is no "harvest" in the traditional sense; at the end of the cycle, the biomass can be mulched or buried as green manure to further enrich the soil.
Optimal Germination Conditions: A constant soil temperature between 15°C and 25°C is ideal. Keeping the soil evenly moist but well-drained during the initial germination stage is crucial for high germination.
Soil Type: Adapts to a wide variety of soils, from clay to sandy, with a preference for well-drained soils. The blend actively improves the structure and fertility of any soil type.
Recommended Exposure: Full sun or partial shade. Ideal for planting under fruit trees, where it can receive filtered or direct light, depending on the canopy.
Germination Times: Times vary depending on the different species present in the mix and environmental conditions, but generally germination can be observed within 7-21 days from sowing.
Pot or Open Ground Cultivation: This blend is specifically designed and ideal for open ground cultivation in orchards, vineyards, olive groves, or large agricultural plots. It is not intended for pot cultivation.
Quality Specifications:
Non-GMO: All seeds are guaranteed not to be genetically modified, for natural and safe cultivation.
High Germinability: Each batch of seeds is rigorously tested to ensure a high germination success rate and rapid, even coverage.
Varietal Purity: The blend has been carefully formulated with species selected for their synergistic properties and specific benefits for the undergrowth.
Sustainability: An excellent choice for an ecological, sustainable and low environmental impact agricultural approach.
