Field fodder - grassland in the field: all important aspects of culture from a plant growing perspective

Field fodder stocks made from legumes and grasses are the basis of every balanced crop rotation and belong to it like the amen in prayer. Especially on organic farms and livestock-free arable farms, they represent the pillar for virtually free nutrient input .

Through symbiosis between plants and nodule bacteria large amounts of nitrogen are bound from the air and are then available to the next crops. However, this is only one advantage of this universal culture. Improving the and building up humus as well as eliminating weeds are also among the main advantages.

In addition, large quantities of feed harvested - not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively in the form of very high protein yields . Field fodder with a high proportion of legumes is the most productive protein crop of all and is far superior to soybeans.

Not only does the crop rotation , but also the stable and its residents. If the particularly sought-after nutrients phosphorus and sulfur are taken into account in this culture, further optimizations can be made and the foundation stone can be laid for a successful culture that will last several years .
