Sementes Caiçara

Campo Grande Style

Styling is a protein-rich forage that plays an important role in transforming nitrogen found in the atmosphere and biologically fixing it in the soil, reducing investments in agricultural inputs, contributing to the reduction of environmental impacts and enabling greater weight gain in animals. The animal gain in intercropping is 20% to 30% greater than in pure grass without nitrogen fertilization.

Dormancy Break: The scarification of the seeds of styling agents is necessary due to the presence of an impermeable seed coat, which hinders their germination. This scarification method has advantages in terms of safety and speed in relation to the chemical (sulfuric acid) or physical (hot water) method, commonly used to overcome dormancy in forage seeds.

Germination time: Germination after 10 days depending on weather conditions.
