PLATO Mantelsaat Rhizo / Rhizobium vaccinated

Plato is a premium quality, high performance, high endurance alfalfa variety. In addition to its fertility, it highlights its resistance to Sclerotinia and Verticillum. It provides a feed with a high protein content, its growth form is straight, it is especially suitable for intensive cultivation.

A Mantelsaat Rhizo a state-of-the-art seed incrusting procedure in which essential Rhizobium bacterial preparations, UV and mechanical protection materials are applied in uniform layers to the seed surface. Its advantage is that symbiosis, and the development of tubers, and thus the production of nitrogen, begins much earlier, which apparently results in a faster and more vitally developing stock and a larger crop. Thanks to the protective materials, the viability of the rhizobium applied to the seed is maintained for at least 12 months.Lucerne is our most important, most valuable native fibrous butterfly fodder plant.

It has a high feed value, is rich in protein and can be fed in a variety of forms such as wrinkled, charcoaled, hay, pellets or flour. Amino acid composition is excellent.

Extremely productive in intensive cultivation, but poor conditions, even in dry conditions, is one of the best solutions due to its deep root system, nitogen production, extreme drought tolerance and resulting outstanding crop stability. Do not plant on lime-deficient soils.

Well-associated with high-energy grass species:

in a dry location: knotted eagle, reed-faced fescue, Hungarian rye

in a fresh location, in more intensive production: English ryegrass, hybrid ryegrass, meadow fescue, meadow comosin

It is a very good precursor, it has an excellent effect on soil fertility, as it significantly enriches the soil with organic matter ( 8-12 ton/ha per year ) and nitrogen (min. 100 kg/ha per year ).

In addition to the enriching effects of the described very good soil, it can also be used in greening, organic production and sustainable production systems for the following reasons:

– easy to grow without chemicals, easy to keep clean by mowing
– good weed suppression capacity
– has a beneficial effect on soil structure, humus content, water, air and nutrient management due to its branched root system
-long, intensely blooms, good bee pasture
