Forage crops

The forage crops include mainly grasses and a variety of legumes as well as some cruciferous plants. Forage crops allow the temporary establishment of a grassland-like population. They thus increase soil fertility and at the same time provide roughage for ruminants. By combining several species and varieties, growth factors such as light, water, nutrients and the footprint are optimally used. At the same time, the field food stocks offer an attractive picture and are often very valuable for insects due to their biodiversity.
