M-EP BIO / UAB
UAB - Organic forage crops
-
Even more energy and protein in meslin! M-EP is a ready-to-use mix of 2 complementary legumes to be combined with cereals (triticale, oats, etc.) for harvesting as silage, hay or grain.
Fonctionnal benefits
- Agronomic benefits of introducing legumes into the rotation.
- Increased and more secure yields;
- Improved feed value
Benefits in detail
-
Agronomic advantages of the composition :
- enhances the value of low-potential plots ;
- produces a cover crop that suppresses weeds ;
- requires little nitrogen fertilisation;
- less susceptible to disease thanks to the combination
- constitutes a good precedent thanks to the legumes.
Nutritional benefits of the composition :
- increases and secures yield (8 to 12 t M.S/ha) ;
- improves feed values compared with pure cereals (more UF and PDI);
- provides digestive fibre;
- allows better control of M.S. levels at harvest.
Operation:
- M-EP can be harvested as silage or grain.
- For silage or wraps, the M-EP + cereals combination can be harvested from the early flowering stage of the legumes (early May) to the milky-doughy grain stage of the cereals (June).
- For silage, aim for an M.S. rate of 30 to 35%;
- For wrapping, aim for an M.S. rate of 45 to 55%.
