Cover Crops and Soil Sustainability

Cover Crops & Soil Sustainability

Cover crops provide a way forward to integrate carbon capture and improve long term soil structure and biodiversity.
The following issues are addressed …

Reducing water pollution in rivers from fertiliser, pesticides and sediment.

Reduced soil erosion from wind and water.

Reduced weed control by allelopathic effects and potential reduction in pesticides.

Better natural drainage by improving infiltration rate of water.

Improved earthworm populations.

Improved organic matter levels leading to better water retention in drought prone soil types.

Cover cropping provides a method of carbon capture for UK agriculture.

Savings on crop nutrition by nutrient cycling.

Reduction of compaction in soil and therefore lower costs.

Improved soil biology.

Natural bio fumigation from certain cover crop species leading to a integrated reduction in pesticide use.

We can provide individual cover crop planning that integrates with your own crop rotation giving the best benefits to your crop, soils, environment and also to your gross margin.

We have a large selection of cover crop species to be able to deliver the individual requirements you have.

Single species to multiple mixes for the complex requirements that are required to improve your soil and the subsequent crops.
