Additional nitrogen available to next crop: ~13 kg/ha (estimation only, as depending on numerous production factors and thus cannot be guaranteed)
Estimated speed of nitrogen release: slow/moderate
Recommended application:
Sowing:
After spring crops | Drilling is recommended
Sowing rate:
22 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:
Rapid cover and significant biomass development. The NACRE common vetch produces a high biomass during the fall. The TABOR Egyptian clover produces a high biomass when seeded in the summer. Furthermore, NACRE is a variety resisting to the aphanomyces allowing a pest control rupture. This leguminous mixture allows a quick nitrogen recovery.
