Blend Mary
The BLEND MARY legume blend is designed to offer high forage production, excellent nutritional value and maximum adaptation to dry and irrigated areas.
Combine three species
- Red Pea: Hardiness, resistance to drought and high protein value in the grain.
- Bitter Vetch: Rapid implantation, excellent forage and protein value.
- Vetch (Vicia sativa / villosa): High biomass production, high palatability and soil improvement thanks to its powerful nitrogen fixation.
Expected production
- Forage (DM/ha): 6–10 t rainfed; 10–14 t in irrigated or wetlands.
Agronomic advantages
- Adaptation to rainfed conditions: the combination makes better use of the available water.
- Biological nitrogen fixation: improves soil fertility for the next crop (20–40 kg N/ha).
- Diversification: lower productive risk compared to single-varietal plantings.
- Structural improvement of the soil: thanks to deep roots and high root biomass.
Advantages for livestock farming
- High protein content: average 23–26% BW in the grain, ideal for supplementing ruminant diets.
- Palatable and digestible forage: excellent in grazing, hay or silage.
- Versatility: use in beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and goats.
- Energy-protein balance: combination of legumes that improves the balance of the diet without excess fiber.
Planting recommendations
- Season: autumn (October-November); spring in cold areas.
- Sowing rate (total mix): 120–150 kg/ha rainfed; 150–180 kg/ha in irrigated land.
- Method: broadcast or row (20–25 cm) seeding.
- Soil: well-drained, tolerates limestone and clay soils.
- Management: cutting or grazing in early flowering for forage of the highest quality; ripening harvest for grain.
Commercial benefits of BLEND MARY
- Product ready to sow, with a balanced proportion between titarro, yero and vetch.
- Stable yields even in difficult rainy years.
- Soil improvement and reduction of nitrogen fertilizer use.
- High quality feed for ruminants, with excellent acceptance.
