FODDER PLANTS / PHACELIA 

Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth.

A bee phacelium variety of medium early, reducing the number of nematodes in the soil, also suitable for green manure, erosion prevention and abundant honey production

A woody plant with a high pollen content

Under favorable conditions, bees can produce 1 l of honey from 20 m² of phacelium crop area

Can be grown as intercrops for anti-erosion purposes

Green material can be harvested after 50-60 days

A very high yield of green mass is obtained, up to 40 t/ha

The fast growth rate kills emerging weeds and protects the soil from moisture loss

Vegetation period - 70-110 days (depending on weather conditions)

Suitable for growing in poorer soil and climatic conditions

Tolerates periodic lack of water and autumn frosts (even up to 7-10 ° C)

A very suitable plant in crop rotation, it is a very good and useful pre-seed for beets, potatoes or corn

Cultivated as an intermediate plant, it grows up to 30-40 cm and produces 30-40 t/ha of green mass

The weight of 1000 seeds are 2.4 g

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

ADVANTAGES OF TREATED SEEDS

Coated seeds slide more easily

Small seeds are sown more evenly

It is easier to sow small seed rates

The seeds are protected from mechanical damage during sowing

The coating does not contain any synthetic glues or dyes, only products of natural origin

Very strong coating, no particles

The coating is environmentally friendly

Decomposes perfectly and completely

No synthetic chemicals enter the soil

The decomposition of covering materials of natural origin enriches the soil and has a positive effect on plant growth

The coating material (calcium carbonate) is said to affect soil pH

SOWING RATE

Recommended seeding rate: 16 kg/ha. The seeds are inserted shallowly, at a depth of 1-2 cm.

Recommended sowing rate for green fertilizer: 16-20 kg/ha
