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%.
