HEUSERS OSTSAAT

The fast-growing winter clover

HEUSERS OSTSAAT performs exceptionally well as a preceding crop thanks to its roots which reach depths of up to 90 cm, making it the perfect green manure. In addition, the root nodule bacteria provide free nitrogen for the following crop. It has few soil requirements, meaning that it can be cultivated on light soils and loams. Such soils must, however, have sufficient lime content. Crimson clover is widely used in crop rotations, though cultivation intervals of 5–6 years are advisable.
