1.Soil Vitality Mix also EFA compatible
Sow rate 25 kg/ha

The seed mix is designed more for use on lighter land. Different to the soil structure seed mix in that it includes the use of a deeper rooting tillage radish this seed mix is designed to put out a mass of fine roots allowing the soil to de Flocculate including two oat varieties that will scavenge deeper allowing relocation of Phosphorus and Potash into the rooting zone of newly established crops. The seed mix is EFA compatible for use with the Catch and Cover crop options and can also be used for EFA fallow as a wild bird seed mix – use of the KVITBIRD code for invoices for (EFA Fallow) is important if used for this option.

The soil structure seed mix was designed to work on heavy more compacted and damaged land areas. The mix has evolved over a number of seasons to increase its nutrient capture performance and soil compaction assistance. The use of the Stinger Tillage radish variety has allowed even some of the worst compaction layers to be improved allowing root channelling for other species in the seed mix to increase nutrient capture and soil conditioning. Observations following the use of this type of seed mix are easier soil working characteristics requiring less power and lower energy input. The seed mix is EFA compatible with all three requirements – Catch and Cover crop and can be used as part of EFA Fallow using the KRADBIRD code on invoices.
