<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: &nbsp;Avena strigosa</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Poaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">This oat is native to Europe and has been used in South America for its biomass and fodder production. It often proves to be earlier in heading than spring oats. Since it regularly goes through the bolting process in winter, its stems freeze easily. If it is not sufficiently advanced, tillers can start up again in spring. It is much less susceptible than common oats to virus infections and crown rust. On average it produces more biomass than winter or spring oats (+ 15% biomass and + 37% nitrogen absorbed). It has a lower TWK ​​than other oats, hence lower seeding rates. There are significant differences between varieties. It is the earliness of heading that differentiates them most. Early varieties produce biomass faster but have a higher carbon/nitrogen ratio. In addition, they can produce viable seeds if sown very early. Late varieties should be preferred for early sowing and early varieties for late sowing. For the same earliness, there can be differences in biomass production of up to &nbsp;20-30%.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Find this variety in our mixTUREs:</strong></h2><ul><li><i><strong>LIDCOVER DUO</strong></i></li><li><i><strong>LIDCOVER FLEXI</strong></i></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-lego-20"><i><strong>LIDCOVER LEGO20</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-legumi"><i><strong>LIDVINE LEGUMI</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-vicia-bo"><i><strong>LIDVINE VICIA B/O</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/crops/service-plants/cover-crops"><i><strong>LIDVINE NARBO</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-nema"><i><strong>LIDVINE NEMA</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-nutri"><i><strong>LIDCOVER NUTRI</strong></i></a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-opticorn"><i><strong>LIDCOVER OPTICORN</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-pom20"><i><strong>LIDCOVER POM20</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-structur20-1"><i><strong>LIDCOVER STRUCTUR20</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;VITAL20.COUV</strong></i></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-vital30"><i><strong>LIDCOVER VITAL30</strong></i></a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-bo"><i><strong>&nbsp;LIDVINE B/O</strong></i></a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-winter"><i><strong>&nbsp;LIDCOVER WINTER</strong></i></a></li><li><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-xiphi"><i><strong>LIDVINE XIPHI</strong></i></a></li></ul><h2><strong>Lidea variety Specificity</strong></h2><ul><li>Late variety : IAPAR61</li><li>Early variety : IPR CABOCLA</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2022/02/bristle_oat.jpg"></figure>

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Vicia Villosa</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Fabaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Vetches are the most commonly used legumes in intercropping. They are appreciated because their moderate-sized seeds limit the quantities to be sown and facilitate mixing. Like all legumes, they must be sown early in summer if you want to produce biomass before winter. If they are well developed, they are destroyed relatively easily (freezing, rolling, etc.). However, we must remain attentive to their destruction if they are moderately developed, especially before crops where no recovery is possible because the vetch can be invasive. The ability of the different vetch varieties to produce biomass can be very different from one variety to another. There is early and late hairy vetch varieties. Early varieties have an good biomass potential before the winter with frost sensibility (but never 100% frost kill). In the other hand, late varieties will be suitable to cover the soil during winter and spring because of their good frost resistance.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Link to our mix with this variety</strong></h2><ul><li style="text-align:justify;">CS RUSTIC CTT</li><li style="text-align:justify;">CS STOCK CTT</li><li style="text-align:justify;">LIDMETHA MIX</li><li style="text-align:justify;">LIDVINE NARBO</li><li style="text-align:justify;">LIDVINE NEMA</li><li style="text-align:justify;"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-bo">LIDVINE B/O</a></li><li style="text-align:justify;"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-winter">LIDCOVER WINTER</a></li><li style="text-align:justify;">LIDVINE XIPHI</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2022/02/hairy_vetch.png"></figure>

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Trifolium alexandrinum</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Fabaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Berseem clover is an annual clover that should be planted early. It is easier to destroy than other clovers, with variations depending on the variety. Its seed size explains its presence in many associations. It is a melliferous cover but with late flowering. Multi-cut varieties (producing several stems) are suitable for forage. They tend to regrow after a cut, mechanical destruction or frost.

Turnip

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Brassica carinata</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Brassicaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Crucifer less known than other mustards, it is similar to a cabbage. It rarely flowers in autumn, except in case of very early sowing, mild temperatures and early variety. Biomass production is good for long cycle cover crop. As for the varieties: Since Abyssinian mustard is the result of hybridization between common cabbage and black mustard, there are differences between varieties (shape and coloring of the leaves, earliness to flowering).</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Find this variety in our mixTUREs</strong></h2><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-abyssi">LIDCOVER ABYSSI</a></li></ul><h2><strong>Specificity variety Lidea</strong></h2><ul><li>NUBIE</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2022/03/etiopian_mustard.jpg"></figure>

Etiopian mustard

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Brassica juncea</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Brassicaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Brown mustard has a development equivalent to that of white mustard. With higher levels of certain glucosinolates than other crucifers, brown mustard could have stronger allelopathic effects on certain fungi (foot rot in wheat, black rhizoctonia, etc.). However, these effects have proved to be very random under practical field conditions and are effective by biofumigation. Varieties are distinguished by their early flowering, although they are all fairly comparable to early white mustards.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Find this variety in our mixTUREs</strong></h2><ul><li>LIDCOVER ECO6</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-sani">&nbsp;LIDCOVER SANI</a></li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2022/03/brown_mustard_min.png"></figure>

Brown mustard

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Sinapsis alba</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Brassicaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">White mustard remains the most widespread cover, even if it dominates the other species less and less. At the origin of its success, several reasons: limited cost of seeds, easy sowing even on broacasting, easy destruction, good nitrate trap... It is however sensitive to water stress and high temperatures in the event of early sowing. When it is very developed, it can be difficult to bury by ploughing. Grinding is then often necessary. Its speed of installation and its large size make it quite aggressive with regard to weeds but also to other cover crops species in the event of mixture. As for the varieties: The varietal offer in white mustard has been very rich for many years. The varieties are mainly distinguished by their nematicidal character and their earliness to flowering. Nematicidal varieties, recommended in beet rotation, trap the beet nematode (Heterodera schachtii), especially if the cover crop is sown early. On the contrary, the classic, non-nematicidal varieties multiply this nematode like all the other crucifers. The earliness to flowering can be very different depending on the variety. Sown early, early varieties will flower quickly with a risk of rapid seed set. This is often what leads to recommending late varieties from an agronomic point of view. However, early varieties have the advantage of having faster growth if sown a little late (for example at the beginning of September). If the melliferous character is desired, early flowering is an advantage, provided that you know how to correctly manage the risk of seed germination of the cover.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Find this variety in our mixTUREs</strong></h2><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-sie">LIDCOVER SIE</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-eco10-1">LIDCOVER ECO10</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-ecoschnappchen">&nbsp;LIDCOVER ECOSCHNÄPPCHEN</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-honigbrache">LIDCOVER HONIGBRACHE</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidvine-nema">LIDCOVER NEMA</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-opticorn">&nbsp;LIDCOVER OPTICORN</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidcover-speedgreen">LIDCOVER SPEEDGREEN</a></li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2022/03/white_mustard.jpg"></figure>

White mustard

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Setaria italica subsp. moharia</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Poaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">This summer grass can be sown in late spring, early summer. It is a single-cut forage crop that regrows soon after catch harvest. It will make better result than sorghum for short cycle and hay. This plant is sensitive to cold and frost. As for the varieties: Early varieties can reach the seed stage in 45-60 days.

<h3><strong>Latin name</strong>: Lens nigricans</h3><h3><strong>Family</strong>: Fabaceae</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Agronomic characteristics</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Black lens, or fodder lens, shows average biomass production results. Plants are not very tall but branch out well and provide good ground cover. When well developed, it is fairly easily destroyed (freezing, rolling, etc.). Like some other legumes, lentil is highly susceptible to Aphanomyces. Its fairly low TKW (half to a third of that of vetches) limits the quantities of seeds to be handled and facilitates associations with small seeds. Common lentils are a little less suited to produce biomass than blackish lentil.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Find this variety in our mixTUREs</strong></h2><ul><li>GREENING-STAR</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidsymbio-lfa">LIDSYMBIO LFA</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/products/lidsymbio-lfa-+">LIDSYMBIO LFA+</a></li></ul><h2><strong>Lidea variety Specificity&nbsp;</strong></h2><ul><li>FENTILLE</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2022/03/black_lens.jpg"></figure>
