ILDIGO

Soil improver with depth effect

Benefits:

  • Rapid initial development and high dry matter yields
  • Ideal green manure plant, which can fix nitrogen in its root nodules 
  • Can grow independently of the nitrogen content of the soil and also provides mixing partner with the nutrient for growth
  • ILDIGO thrives on loamy sand to sandy loam soils at medium pH (less calcium sensitive)
  • An early sowing promotes the deep rooting, which can also break up soil compaction
