Cover crops are sown for a wide range of reasons across many agricultural systems in New Zealand.

They can assist in regulating vine growth, water and wind erosion, weed control, break up compaction layers, improve soil fertiliy and the nutrient cyle in general, improve soil structure, stability, waterholding capacity and drainage, enhance biological diversity and activity in the root zone, provide habitat for beneficial insects, provide firm footing for harvest and cultural operations and are also very aesthetic when flowering.

The list of cover crops benefits is long but the increase of economic and ecological value of a vineyard strongly depends on choosing a suitable crop or mix for a particular setting together with an appropriate management strategy for that situation.

We have a range of standard options suited to whichever season you're sowing in, and the capabilities of your drilling equipment. One size does NOT fit all however, and that's where we come in.

Think about what you might want to acheive with a cover crop and get in touch with Kiwi Seed - we'll advise you on a seed mix, sowing process and management strategy to get you started on your inter-row cropping journey!
