Le semis de mil et de trèfle rouge sans plante-abri produit des plants plus vigoureux et mieux enracinés. On pourra même faire une première fauche en juillet, une aubaine. [...] Le chaume abondant va ralentir le verdissement du champ, ce qui retardera la visite des bernaches, permettra aux conditions de sol de se modifier et aux plantes de prendre de la vigueur. Les plants ayant des racines plus grosses et plus profondes résisteront mieux au broutement. 2, record 2, French, - semis%20sur%20sol%20nu
