TERRALIFE® - FORAGEROOTER

PDF DATASHEET

Profile

Thanks to its intelligent composition, the TerraLife® ForageRooter (Landsberg mixture) actively promotes soil life. The proportion of water-resistant soil crumbs is increased, which improves water infiltration and significantly stabilises the soil structure. Its growth is suitable both as green fallow and for high-quality feeding. As an undersown crop, it tolerates shading under maize very well and is able to develop a closed stand after the maize harvest. 

Versatile forms of utilisation:

- Catch crop
- Main crop
- Undersown 

The Landsberg mixture was developed by the DSV founders 100 years ago and is still in its original composition today.

  • High protein feed
  • Good winter hardiness
  • Excellent improvement of the crumb structure
