EFEOGA
   
  For very dry soils.

This mixture is suitable for particularly dry hilly areas with clay and medium-loose soils. To be used both for pasture and hay production. Its establishment is slow, but once established an Efeoga field produces high quantities of a quite coarse forage. It also hinders soil erosion.

 

Seeding rate: 30-45 kg/ha

 

45% Festuca arundinacea

30% Dactylis glomerata

15% Lotus corniculatus

10% Trifolium repens  

CAVALLI
  
   Specific for horses.

Its components are particularly suitable for horses diet. It is high in fiber content and stands high traffic well.

 

 Seeding rate: 40-60 kg/ha

25% Festuca arundinacea

25% Lolium perenne

20% Phleum pratense

15% Dactylis glomerata

10% Trifolium repens    

5%   Lotus corniculatus

SOTTOFRUTTETO

This mixture was specifically developed to create a sward which does not compete with water and nutrient uptake from the soil by fruit trees. Excellent resistance to the transit of operation machines.

 

Seeding rate: 50-70 kg/ha

 

 

35% Festuca rubra

30% Festuca ovina

30% Lolium perenne

5%   Poa pratensis

SOTTOVIGNETO

Excellent mixture for hindering erosion in different types of soils. Turfing with this mixture allows early ripening of the grapes.

 

Seeding rate: 45-65 kg/ha

 

 

35% Festuca rubra

30% Festuca ovina

25% Lolium perenne

5%  Lotus corniculatus

5%  Trifolium repens    

TIPO "A"

It quickly produces a considerable forage mass with high protein content.

 

Seeding rate: 100-180 kg/ha

 

45% Vicia sativa

40% Pisum sativum

15% Avena sativa

LANDSBERGER

Winter forage producer specifically developed for areas where a more balanced high protein content forage is required.

 

Seeding rate: 50-70 kg/ha

 

50% Lolium multiflorum

30% Vicia sativa

20% Vicia villosa

 

 

PHACELIA

 
It is the most important species for honey production thanks to its blue flowers which greatly attract bees.

 

FORAGE RAPE

Annual plant suitable for establishing autumn-winter. It must be used as green forage. Lately it has lost much of its farmer popularity, because it needs much manpower for harvesting and it has been substituted with ryegrass.

 

CHICORY

The forage produced by this species is highly palatable for sheeps. Therefore it is used in intercropping with the main pasture species.
