INNOVATION IN EUROPE – THE STEPDOWN ROOT SYSTEM - EXEMPLIFIED BY THE "KRASULA" MIXTURE

In 2005, the  SOWUL & SOWUL company, as the first one in Europe, created a stepdown root system, owing to the composition of their mixtures.

In certain regions one can observe more and more often occurrences of  droughts at the early stages of the growing season. Hence,  Sowul & Sowul offers you special forage mixtures. Their stand composition has been designed in such a way, as to ensure that limited access to water will not disturb the proper growth of plants.  The growing process of  the roots of Poaceae and Fabaceae that constitute our mixtures, forms in the soil a structure resembling steps (see the graph). Trifolium pratense (red clover) and Medicago sativa (alfalfa) have taproots, reaching deep into the soil. Also certain species of grasses, eg. Festuca arundinacea (tall fescue), Dactylis glomerata (orchard grass) and Festuca pratensis (meadow fescue), possess a well-developed root system, allowing them to obtain water and nutrients from deeper layers of the soil. The company of these plants positively affects shallow-rooted species, providing them with necessary nutritive substances, including water.  Sowul & Sowul's mixtures are meant to counteract the results of a drought.
From the economic point of view, our mixtures will yield you high quality crops of bulk feed.
