Additional nitrogen available to next crop: ~28 kg/ha (estimation only, as depending on numerous production factors and thus cannot be guaranteed)
Estimated speed of nitrogen release: moderate
Recommended application:
Sowing:
Summer or fall | Drilling is recommended
Sowing rate:
10 kg/ha
Destruction:
Sensitive to frost. Likely no termination required (in any case, terminate no later than 40 days before sowing subsequent crops).
Field management:
Limited or no-till recommended. No changes to normal practices required. Irrigation not required.
Benefits:
Quick growth and high production of biomass. The TITANE vetch and the single cut clover TABOR are selected for their speed in producing summer biomass. The thousand grain weight (PMG) of this mix is low, which allows for a reduction in the sowing rate. Moreover, these varieties were chosen for their ease of destruction from cold weather.
