The one trip system |
|
§ Does not destroy producing perennial grasses.
§ Actually cultivates and enhances their production while producing the interseeded crop.
§ Allows interseeding Chinese Red Cow Peas into perennial grasses.
§ Evidence exists that peas furnish substantial nitrogen for the growth of the perennial summer grasses and with nitrogen carryover for winter rye grass
§ Grasses flourish in canopy shade of the peas: Remain juvenile longer Results in more than twice the quality and quantity

Utilizing only one trip of the Plant-O-Vator®: • Grass is cultivated, • Fertilizer is placed 4- to 5-1/2 inches below ground level, • Peas are interseeded, • And reservoir is created for water storage.
A perfect growing environment. After Plant-O-Vating in sod: In normal conditions, Chinese Red Cow Peas mature in 47 to 50 days.
For continuous “feed lotting”, a new paddock should be Plant-O-Vated every 17-18 days from late April until early August. |
