Which green manure fertilizer suits NKG?
More and more arable farmers are using non-inversion tillage (NKG) for various crops. The benefits of NKG are now well known, but there are also challenges. An appropriate green manure fertilizer helps to prevent problems.
By non-inversion tillage, arable farmers improve the water management, bearing capacity and structure of their soil and they conserve soil life. To make such a system of minimal tillage succeed, maximum use of green manures applies. They keep the land covered, support the increase in organic matter and nourish soil life.
But if you can't plow, that catch crop should not stand in the way of drying the soil and sowing the main crop in the spring. This requires a green manure that freezes well and does not form sod.
Greencover NKG
That is why LG developed the special mixture Greencover NKG. Not too massive and easy to freeze, this product requires little time and processing to reduce and work in. This helps to achieve a good workable seedbed without annoying crop residues and problems with storage. In addition, the smooth ground cover keeps weeds out. The total picture of NKG and green manure also makes a business less sensitive to drought; more organic matter means the soil retains more moisture and the furrow benefits from more capillary rise from the subsoil.
