Summary

Improved feed diversity and more resilient feed production, less dependent on soybean imports. This strategy helps to mitigate droughts effects, through an “avoidance strategy”, with production of forage during seasons less likely to be affected by such phenomenon. Other benefits include improved soil biodiversity and soil health, reduced leaching during winter (as mixtures are used as cover crops) and benefits associated with incorporating residues from roots and crops (nitrogen availability for maize, carbon input to the soil, etc.).


Summary translation

Une alimentation animale plus diversifiée et plus résiliente, moins dépendante des importations de soja. Cette stratégie permet d'atténuer les effets des sécheresses, grâce à une "stratégie d'évitement", avec la production de fourrage pendant les saisons les moins susceptibles d'être touchées par ce phénomène. Parmi les autres avantages : l'amélioration de la biodiversité et de la santé des sols, la réduction du lessivage en hiver (mélanges utilisés comme cultures de couverture) et les avantages liés à l'incorporation de résidus de racines et de cultures (disponibilité de l'azote pour le maïs, apport de carbone au sol, etc.)

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Learn about benefits and practical recommendations of using cereals and legumes as a second crop.
What problem does the tool address?:More frequent droughts in summer lead to unreliable forage production for farmers. In addition, farmers highly depend on imported soybean for milk production.
What solution does the tool offer?:Forage production, based on silage maize, can be improved by introducing a mixture of legumes and cereals prior to sowing silage maize, creating another source of silage earlier in the season.
