Description
Sottofrutteto Mix B seeds are the ideal solution for ecological and sustainable grass cover for your orchard, vineyard, or any tree crop. This high-quality mix is specifically formulated for soil-conscious farmers and hobbyists who want to improve the soil's nutrient balance in a natural and easy-to-grow way. Designed to be sown between tree rows, Mix B actively contributes to erosion prevention, weed suppression, and soil fertility, reducing the need for chemical interventions. Each packet contains 10,000 seeds for organic gardening (intended as organic soil management), ensuring effective and long-lasting cover thanks to excellent high germination rates and the selection of robust, non-GMO species.
Technical details:
Botanical name: A blend of selected species (e.g., legumes, grasses, and brassicas) specifically designed for under-orchard grassing and green manure. The composition is balanced to maximize benefits for the soil, biodiversity, and fruit tree nutrition.
Seed quantity: 10,000 seeds, ideal for covering large areas or for extensive grassing projects, ensuring optimal seeding density and rapid coverage.
Plant type and crop cycle: Mainly fast-growing annual and/or biennial species, with a crop cycle optimized for ground cover and organic matter supply, integrating perfectly with the orchard cycle.
Plant height: Varies between different species included in the mix, generally between 30 and 100 cm, providing effective ground cover that shades and suppresses weeds without overly competing with fruiting plants.
Uses: Grassing of the sub-orchard, improvement of soil structure and fertility, fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (thanks to legumes), suppression of competitive weeds, prevention of erosion, attraction of pollinating and beneficial insects, increase of biodiversity of the microenvironment.
Functional aspects: The mix develops a robust root system that aerates the soil, improving drainage and water retention. The aerial biomass, once mown or buried, decomposes, releasing essential nutrients, contributing to the soil's organic cycle.
Resistance and Origin: Seeds of controlled origin and selected for their robustness and adaptability to different temperate climates and soil types, ensuring good resistance to adverse weather conditions and vigorous growth.
Sowing time: Ideal in autumn for an effective winter and spring cover, or in spring for a summer cover, based on the specific needs of the orchard, local climate and green manure objectives.
Management/harvest period: The biomass is managed by mowing or burying (green manure) before the most dominant species have fully flowered, to maximize the supply of organic matter and nutrients to the soil and prevent unwanted spontaneous sowing.
Optimal conditions for germination: Soil temperature between 10°C and 20°C, with constant humidity and good aeration. A light covering of the seeds after sowing is essential.
Soil Type: Extremely adaptable to a wide range of soils, from clay to sandy, with a neutral or slightly acidic/alkaline pH. The mix is designed to improve the fertility and structure of any soil.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or partial shade, typical conditions found under the canopies of fruit trees, ensuring optimal growth of the mix without excessive light competition.
Germination time: Rapid and uniform, generally within 7-14 days of sowing, depending on the predominant species in the mix and environmental conditions, for timely ground coverage.
Pot or open ground cultivation: Specifically formulated for open ground, ideal for the inter-rows of orchards, vineyards, olive groves and any tree system where functional grassing is desired.
Quality specifications: Non-GMO (not genetically modified) product, with a very high percentage of certified high germination, and composed of seeds selected to guarantee maximum efficacy, agronomic reliability and environmental safety.
