1 TerraLife - Soil is living -
2 TerraLife The new developed TerraLife-mixtures are developed for loosening crop rotations and to improve soil fertility Good weed suppressing effect by fast growing species Better yield stability and quality More efficient use of light, water and nutrients Increasing of biodiversity Decreasing of lodging due to stabilising crops Nice flowering in the landscape
3 Surviving advantage - diversity Crops of just one specie have a limited rooting source: Don et.al., 2008 Max Planck Inst. Jena
4 Surviving advantage - diversity TerraLife Diversity above and below the ground, ideal rooting source: Don et.al., 2008 Max Planck Inst. Jena
5 Soil life in the top soil (until 30 cm depth) Soil life converts organic matter in premium fertilizer. Activity of soil life can of course vary depending on different soil characteristics. The bulk of soil organism differs in the below mentioned range. Bacteria, fungi, algae g/m² Insects, slugs g/m² Eathworm g/m²» total g/m²» = kg/ha» / 600 kg (= 1 GVE*)» = 4,5 41 GVE*/ha These GVE* needs food by crop residues and catch crops Soil is living, therefore it needs air and food! *GVE = Großvieheinheit = lifestock unit
6 TerraLife-Rigol Vigorous rooting to stabilise the soil structure Composition: blue lupine (Lupinus angustifolius), sun flower (Helianthus annuus), Egytian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), serradella (Ornithopus sativus), phazelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), black oats (Avena sativa), flax (Linum usitatissimum), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) Sowing rate: kg/ha, sowing date: latest 20. August
7 TerraLife-Rigol Biological soil management by plants like lupine, seradella, Egyptian clover, flax and sun flower, which are able to break soil compaction due to its strong roots The other species are used to produce shade and to root the A-horizon by its fine roots There is good biomass production above the soil and the high content of legumes leads to the a good humus- and nutrient accumulation
8 TerraLife-N-Fixx Fast ground cover and N-fixing Composition: Field pea (Pisum sativum), Egytian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum), serradella (Ornithopus sativus), phazelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), niger seed (Guizotia abyssinica), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), sun flower (Helianthus annuus), common vetch (Vicia sativa) Sowing rate: kg/ha, sowing date: until 20. August, before oilseed rape until 15. July, unfavourable areas until 15. August
9 TerraLife-N-Fixx It is a harmonized mixture of large grain, small grain and fast growing legumes in combination with non-legumes which have no effect on the crop rotation Best suited after total plants silage and winter barley Ideal before oilseed rape Produces a stable crumb structure and humus. It supports recovery and vitaliy of stressed soils
10 TerraLife-Maispro Balanced mixture with mainly winterhardy crops for intensive crop rotations with maize Composition: Field pea (Pisum sativum), forage rye (Secale cereale), crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis), phazelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), winter forage rape (Brassica napus), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), sun flower (Helianthus annuus), Egytian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum) Sowing rate: kg/ha, sowing date: until 25. August, unfavourable areas until 20. August
11 TerraLife-Maispro Partly winterhardy legumes and forage plants make it possible to use it before maize Balanced rate of plants with tap and sprout roots lead to deep rooting of the soil Phazelia produces good shade and is loved by honey bees In areas with spring drough the water usage has to be stopped by chemical or mechanical methods/ways In some European areas there are subsidies paid when winter hardy crops are used to protect the soil in winter
12 TerraLife-Biomax Fast growing mixture for farms which produce a high amount of slurry; nutrients in the slurry can be used and preserved Composition : oil radish (Raphanus sativus), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), sun flower (Helianthus annuus), oats (Avena sativa), phazelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), Egytian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), mustard (Sinapis alba) Sowing rate: kg/ha, sowing date: 31. August
13 TerraLife-Biomax Due to fast growth and deep rooting even nutrients in deeper soil layers can be used This mixture is not suited for crop rotations where oilseed rape is grown very often A high amount of organic matter produced above the soil can used as food for earthworm and other organisms in the soil
14 TerraLife-Landsberger Gemenge Proven mixture for growing of winter catch crops for forage use and green manuring Composition: crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) Sowing rate: 50 kg/ha, sowing date: end August - mid September in open sowing, after mid of Mai in under sowing (z.b. winter wheat)
15 TerraLife-Landsberger Gemenge High yielding winter catch crop with a high protein content Developed in 1928 by employee of DSV-Deutsche Saatveredelung in Landsberg an der Warthe High green- and dry matter yield with a high feeding value and very good rooting Soil life will be supported, the soil structure will be improved and stabilized, infiltration will be increased Growth can be used for grazing, cutting, fresh feeding, silage production or fallow with vegetation cover Successful since more than 80 years
