Invest in the long-term fertility of your land
Modern and sustainable farming requires smart choices. If you want to reduce reliance on synthetic herbicides and artificial fertilizers on your land, sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is an indispensable ally. The 1 kg package is specially designed for owners of larger areas, farms, and organic fields who want to improve soil quality and support the natural balance.
Maximum benefit for your land and bees:
- Powerful nitrogen-fixing cover crop: Sainfoin’s deep-reaching root system does an incredible job – it not only loosens the soil but also effectively fixes nitrogen. The result is organically enriched soil, ready to nourish subsequent crops.
- Natural weed suppression: Thanks to its dense and lush growth, sainfoin aggressively suppresses the spread of unwanted weeds. This means a clean field and less worry!
- Abundant and drought-resistant green biomass: An excellent choice for green manure. Sainfoin produces massive amounts of green biomass even when rainfall is scarce. It is a vigorous and disease-resistant option that improves soil structure and water permeability.

Highly productive perennial honey plant: Do you keep bees? Sainfoin honey is highly valued for its exquisite taste and aroma, offering yields of up to 100–280 kg per hectare.
Sowing and care: For the best results when sowing in May, a sowing depth of 1–1.5 cm is recommended. A 1 kg package is sufficient to cover approximately 125–160 m² in a pure stand (seeding rate 6-8 g/m²). Only acidic and overly moist peat soils should be avoided.
