Marina Alfalfa

CATEGORY: Seeds Legumes

                MARINA ALFALFA
Coated Seed Inoculated for Higher Yields & Improved Quality

MARINA is an established alfalfa seed variety, ideal for Greek climatic conditions. It offers consistent and high yields over time. Thanks to its genetic superiority, it provides a yield of 600-750 bales per year, or approximately 25.000 kg of dry matter per hectare.

One of the greatest advantages of the MARINA variety is its frost resistance, both in spring and winter, which ensures reliable and continuous production without losses. Additionally, its adaptability to drought conditions during spring makes it perfect for areas with unstable water resources, guaranteeing continued production even under challenging weather conditions.

MARINA is characterized by high protein content, providing livestock feed of high nutritional value, necessary for the proper growth and productivity of animals. This way, livestock farmers can reduce supplementary feed costs while ensuring the provision of quality nutrients for their herds.

It can be utilized for both green mass and hay, making it versatile and suitable for various uses in animal husbandry. Its excellent resistance to diseases and strong growth ensure production with reduced plant protection inputs, offering producers an economically sustainable and environmentally responsible product.

Main Features & Benefits
High Resilience: Tolerates low winter and spring temperatures, ensuring production without losses even during frost.
Drought Adaptability: Its resistance to dry conditions makes it an ideal choice for areas with limited water resources.
High Nutritional Value: The crop provides protein-rich feed, supporting proper animal growth and productivity while reducing the need for expensive additional feed.
Multiple Uses: Suitable for both green mass and hay, offering flexibility to producers.

Coated & Inoculated Seed: Why It Stands Out
The use of coated inoculated seeds with nitrogen-fixing bacteria is a pioneering step in agriculture, offering significant benefits. The seed coating helps improve plant development, provides protection against adverse conditions, and enhances symbiotic action, leading to increased productivity and profitability. By choosing coated and inoculated seeds, you invest in maximum productivity, cost reduction, and environmental preservation.

Benefits of Coated Inoculated Seed
Increased Protein Content: Due to inoculation, it exhibits better nitrogen absorption from the atmosphere, enhancing its protein value and making it ideal for animal feed.
Resilience to Adverse Conditions: Inoculated seeds offer better tolerance to dry conditions, allowing production even in areas with limited water supplies.
Improved Soil Structure: Through the action of the bacteria, it enhances soil structure and helps retain moisture, reducing the need for additional irrigation.
Environmental Superiority: Reduced use of chemical fertilizers, contributing to sustainability and environmental protection.

An extremely efficient choice for professional producers seeking resilience, high yields, and low maintenance costs
