TerraLife - the name stands for the concept

The newly developed TerraLife-mixtures are designed for improving soil structure and fertility in the crop rotation, especially when just a few different crops are grown. All the mixtures are good at suppressing weeds due to a high content of fast growing species. The wide range of different species used in TerraLife mixutres increases biodiversity and use of the horizon.

Compared to sowing of single species TerraLife mixtures have several advantages

• Increased biomass and rooting yields
• More and varied root excrements and therefore increased microbial activities and humus production
• Better yield stability and quality
• Nutrient mobilisation, allocation of nutrients for the species in the mixtures and for the main crop
• More efficient use of light, water and nutrients
• Increased biodiversity
• Improved diseases and pests resistance
• Compensation of biotic and abiotic stress factor
• Weed suppression
• Reduction of nutrient losses by soil erosion leaching
• Decrease of lodging due to stabilising crops
• Attractiv floweringin the landscape
• In some areas of Europe subsidies are paid for growing inter crops to save humus and nutrients
