Benefits in detail

M-TROPIC is a ready-to-use composition of an annual summer grass and a legume for summer forage production, whether as a main crop or as a catch crop.


High summer production:

  • M-TROPIC is made up of forage species that establish quickly and provide very high total forage production (10 to 15 t M.S/ha) on several farms.
  • Once established, M-TROPIC is more resistant to dryness and heat than forage sorghum, keeping its foliage green and fresh.
  • However, M-TROPIC is sensitive to cold and is reserved for warmer areas (southern Loire and Alsace). It is destroyed at the first frost.

Excellent feed value:

  • Harvested at the leafy stage (before the 60 cm stage), M-TROPIC provides high quality forage, particularly in terms of protein (note that pearl millet is 2 times richer in lysine and methionine than forage sorghum).

Versatile use:

  • M-TROPIC is suitable for both mowing and grazing.
  • For mowing: it offers great operating flexibility (wrapping, silage, green feed, hay);
  • Grazing: M-TROPIC is very popular with all grazing animals. It is recommended to graze M-TROPIC at the leafy stage (between 30 and 60 cm) to benefit from all its feed quality and encourage tillering, then to eat the regrowth every 3 weeks.
  • Early grazing is possible, as forage millet does not contain hydrocyanic acid and Alexandria clover does not weather.

Solutions applied to seed

sas-stim S.A.S STIM : seeds with biostimulant to stimulate establishment and boost resistance to stress.

Biogas / Biomethane production

The M-TROPIC multi-species mix can also be used for methanization, thanks to its high biomass production.
