Solutions for Soil Health and SFI Compliance
Green Farm Seeds presents a comprehensive collection of Catch and Cover Crops designed to enhance soil vitality and help farmers meet environmental objectives. These mixtures are crucial for modern regenerative agriculture, playing a key role in protecting the soil from erosion, suppressing weeds, and preventing nutrient leaching between cash crops. The range includes mixtures made to align with current UK agricultural schemes, including the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI).
The collection features a variety of species and custom blends tailored for specific outcomes. Options include deep-rooting crops like oil radish to break up soil compaction, nitrogen-fixing legumes such as vetch and clover to improve fertility, and fast-growing mustards that act as biofumigants. Whether the goal is to improve soil structure, boost organic matter, or provide a habitat for beneficial insects, these cover crops are an essential tool for sustainable and productive land management.
