Ferticover Orchard

IT'S ANOTHER FRUIT

BIODIVERSE SEED MIX FOR FLOOR COVERING

 

Features:

Rigorous selection of species taking into account:

  • Their vegetative cycle so that they don't compete with the orchard for water
  • Soil and climate characteristics
  • The demands of culture
  • The needs of each farmer 
 
Reasons to sow:

An exponential increase in total biodiversity through the introduction of targeted plant biodiversity

  • Greater balance in insect populations, preventing the development of pests such as mealybugs, aphids, whiteflies and others
  • Greater diversity of soil micro-organisms, resulting in healthier and more fertile soils
  • Greater global diversity of macro and microorganisms, reducing the need to apply phytopharmaceuticals 

Better and easier transit for machines and people

  • Facilitates the movement of machinery and implements required for processing and harvesting operations

Greater resilience of the orchard 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 
  • A truly regenerative agriculture that improves all environmental compartments: soil, aquifers and atmosphere 
  • Essential in carbon footprint neutrality programmes

Effective weed control by competition

Economic gains by reducing fertiliser, phytopharmaceuticals and soil tillage

 

FERTICOVER ORCHARD RANGE

LEG

Composed exclusively of leguminous plants, it contributes to raising the level of soil fertility

LEGRA

Balance of legumes and grasses, so as not to alter soil fertility levels

GRA

Composed exclusively of grasses. Recommended when the soil is excessively fertile and/or the trees are highly vigorous.
