Opt for the Alpha Semences Method
The MAS Alpha Semences Method consists of sowing intercrops or crops before the wheat harvest.
To save time and money : pre-harvest sowing does not take place during peak work. The work rate is fast and the financial cost of sowing is obviously lower than a traditional sowing.

Why sow before harvest with the Alpha Semences method?
to improve performance : the average aerial biomass gain is 50% compared to traditional sowing due to the early sowing and the choice of species. This has been shown by Agrotransfert, an agricultural innovation transfer structure, for several years. Here are their results: root prospecting is also improved making the soil better structured.
to increase cover efficiency : early cover development guarantees better effects against phytoparasitic nematodes, and most certainly on certain soil-related problems (brown and purple rhizoctonia, Aphanomyces, Verticillium, etc.).
This technique is not recent but is put back at the end of the day thanks to the possibility of sowing seeds over large widths (36m or more).
Alpha seeds has, for this, invented the MAS Alpha Semences Method.
What is the Alpha Semences Method?
Seeds of different species, therefore of different size, shape and roughness, are coupled together to form a "cluster". This mass is then enlarged with a nutritive coating in order to form beads whose characteristics are similar to those of ammonitrate. Spreading to a width of 36 meters is thus possible while maintaining good regularity of coverage of the sown species. The coating allows nutrients to be associated with the seed from its start.

This innovation will revolutionize the practice of many farmers because it is simple and effective.
The selected species and varieties were selected for their efficiency with this new method.
Some points of vigilance:
- no longer dethatching his plots.
- crush the straws.
- avoid certain late herbicide applications on wheat
- avoid dirty plots and plots with a high slug risk.
- be patient. If the cover is not growing yet, it has not rained enough.
- sow a few days before the wheat harvest.
