The benefits in detail

Multiple anti-parasite action:
The varieties selected for CRUCIAL Chlorofiltre have several benefits. It is a mixture that has anti-beet nematode (H. schachtii) action and is resistant to aphanomyces and cabbage rootworm. These factors were confirmed by CASDAR CRUCIAL.

Good biomass production: :
We chose varieties with high summer biomass production in order to achieve rapid soil cover. ECLAIR Alexandria clover is a single-cut variety, producing more summer biomass than a multi-cut variety and there is no risk of regrowth. 

Good complementarity between radish and Alexandria clover:
The root systems of TERRANOVA anti-nematode radish and ECLAIR single-cut Alexandria clover are complementary. The anti-nematode forage radish has a pivoting system, whereas the Alexandria clover root system is fasciculated. This provides effective soil structuring.

Composition :   

TERRANOVA forage radish: 30
ECLAIR Alexandria clover: 70%.
