FIXatioN - Balansa Clover
Balansa Clover (Trifolium michelianum Savi) has multiple applications. As a cover crop, FIXatioN can be used as weed control as well as fixing nitrogen to reduce input costs. In mixtures with other legumes and grasses, Balansa clover creates a highly nutritious forage fed as hay, silage, or pasture.
FIXatioN Balansa clover has proven again and again to truly be an innovative step in seed research and regenerative agriculture. Not only does it save us from the rising cost of commercial inputs, it saves our soil from the detrimental and erosive effects of those inputs. The results: higher yields, healthier soil, and a cleaner earth.
FIXatioN has many benefits, none more impressive than it’s ability to fix nitrogen. Nodules that are on the tap-root interact synergistically with the special rhizobia contained in the seed coating to “fix” nitrogen from the atmosphere.
- Forage Quality : Ability to improve forage quality by suppressing weeds and providing highly nutritious forage :
- Nutrient Recycling : Ability to store excess nutrients for use in subsequent cash crops :
- Quick Growth : Ability to increase soil organic matter by accumulating biomass in a short period of time :
- Weed Suppression : Ability to suppress weeds by shading soil and releasing allelopathic chemicals :
- Nitrogen Fixation : Ability to fix nitrogen into your soil for your subsequent cash crops to utilize as fertilizer for growth and energy :
- Beneficial Insectary : Ability to attract beneficial insects and reduce your reliance on costly insecticides :
- Soil Compaction : Ability to increase nutrient uptake and root development by breaking up dense and compacted soil :
- Erosion Control : Ability to hold soil in place to capture and retain moisture from rainfall and prevent topsoil erosion :
- Water Management : Ability to increase field productivity by improving the drainage of wet soils
