Alfalfa

Alfalfa or Lucerne is a perennial legume that provides excellent properties for the land and for the cattle grower. It is a natural nitrogen fixator thus helps reducing the fertiliser use for the next crop. It is rich in protein and fibre, and therefore a good source of homegrown protein that compliments perfectly corn silage.  

MAS Seeds alfalfa portfolio offers varieties or mixes that suit to most temperate growing conditions. GALAXIE MAX and OXXI MAX are the most sold variety mixtures in our portfolio:  

• 2-9 DORMANCIES 

• SILAGE 

• HAYLAGE 

• GREENING 

AGROCOVER Cover Crops 

Benefits of cover crop mixtures in agricultural lands is endless: they can enhance the water availability for the next crop, increases water infiltration and conserves moisture into the summer. They maintain soil fertility and increase soil organic matter, prevent erosion, and improve biodiversity. Cover crops can naturally catch atmospheric nitrogen and return it to the following species in the rotation.  

MAS Seeds’ wide range of cover crop portfolio provides a broad choice for farmers to match differing needs, climates and growing conditions. With dedicated facilities in Italy, MAS Seeds can propose a very wide range of mixtures. BIOPRO NFIX or APISTICO PLURIENNALE adapted to GREENING purposes are just the 2 examples.  

• FIELD COVER  

• LONG INTERCROP 

• SHORT SUMMER INTERCROP 

• GREEN MANURE  

• WINEYARDS, ORCHARD INTER-ROW 

• BEEKEEPERS  

• GREENING 

Soybean

Soybeans have a small water footprint, are excellent nitrogen fixators and play a crucial role in protein autonomy for cattle farmers.  

In our efforts to contribute for agroecological shift in faming we have recently enlarged our soybean portfolio and introduced in several countries in Europe. CECILIA and SONJA are the 2 varieties available under MAS Seeds brand in Europe.   

• ANIMAL FEED
• HUMAN CONSUMPTION
• MATURITIES 00 - I

NUTRIGRASS Forage Mixtures 

To complete our forage crops for cattle farmers we have included a large selection of forage mixtures that include grasses like Ryegrass or Fescue and/or legumes like Clovers or Vetches forage mixtures:

• SILAGE 

• HAYLAGE 

• GRAZING, PASTURE 

• GREENING 

Silage Sorghum

Growing different forage and biogas crops as alternative to corn with varying drought stress tolerance can increase resilience to weather extremes. Silage sorghum tolerates less fertiliser and is less susceptible to pests and diseases. Its deeper roots can allow for better drought tolerance and increase in soil carbon.

We offer silage sorghum seeds that are suitable for temperate climate zones as first or second sowing crop. ABAS and SORGO MIX are two examples of single variety or variety mixture products.

• SILAGE
• BIOGAS
• FIRST OR SECOND CROP SOWING
