Features
Strict selection of species taking into account:
- Their vegetative cycle so that they don't compete with the trees for water
- Soil and climate characteristics
- The demands of culture
- The needs of each farmer
Reasons to sow
Improves the health of trees
An exponential increase in total biodiversity through the introduction of targeted plant biodiversity
- Greater balance in insect populations, preventing the development of pests
- Greater diversity of soil microorganisms, resulting in healthier and more fertile soils
- Greater global diversity of macro and microorganisms, reducing the need to apply phytopharmaceuticals
Greater forest resilience to climatological phenomena
- Soil that is covered and richer in organic matter has a better infiltration and water retention capacity, reducing water stress in times of drought and reducing periods of waterlogging.
Valuing the landscape
Fixing atmospheric carbon and nitrogen
- Less dependence on chemically synthesised fertilisers
Effective weed control by competition
Economic gains by reducing fertiliser, phytopharmaceuticals and soil tillage
Controls erosion phenomena from rain and wind
The growth of herbaceous vegetation prevents the development of the shrub layer, reducing the risk of fire
