At Agrosemillas we continue to develop a catalog aimed at solving real farmer needs. In this line we introduce ASTEROID, a winter pea with a clear positioning: maximum forage yield with high field stability.

A variety designed to produce more

ASTEROID stands out for its high productive potential, being a particularly interesting option for farms seeking guaranteed volume of green or dry matter.

Its field performance is optimized to minimize risks:

• High lodging tolerance, which ensures better harvesting and utilization
• Great interlacing capacity, thanks to its tendrils, which promote crop stability
• Cold resistance, key in winter sowings

Stability through tendril interlacing

One of the most visible traits of ASTEROID in the field is the density and strength with which its tendrils interlace plants with one another. This natural network supports the crop, reduces lodging risk and facilitates mowing.

Adaptation and versatility

One of ASTEROID’s great advantages is its adaptability:

• It performs in both dryland and irrigated systems
• It allows a wide sowing window, from October to January
• It adapts to different production approaches within forage cultivation

This makes it a flexible option for different zones and agronomic strategies.

A clear production focus

ASTEROID is not just another pea. It is a variety designed for farmers who prioritize:

• High production
• Crop stability
• Ease of management
• Campaign security

In a context where every decision counts, incorporating reliable varieties is key to ensuring profitability.
At Agrosemillas we continue to advance in that direction: offering seeds that provide value from day one.

A decision that determines farm profitability

In woody crops such as olive groves, almond orchards, vineyards, or pistachio, soil management directly affects profitability, crop health, and farm sustainability.

Not all strategies deliver the same results. Choosing between spontaneous ground cover, bare soil, or specific cover crops completely changes the farm’s balance.

The three most common soil management models

Soil is not only the physical base of the crop. It is an active element that determines water availability, soil structure, biodiversity, and the level of intervention required each season.

In this context, there are three particularly common soil management approaches in woody crops.

1. Spontaneous ground cover or weeds

This is a common situation when there is no targeted establishment. The soil is covered by spontaneous vegetation, but that cover does not always benefit the crop.

The main issue with this system is competition for resources. Weeds compete for water, nutrients, light, and space, which can reduce the performance of the main crop and increase control needs.

Although the soil is covered, it is not a planned cover nor one aimed at the farm’s agronomic efficiency.

2. Bare soil

For years, this has been a common practice on many farms. At first glance it conveys cleanliness and control, but keeping soil bare has a significant technical and economic cost.

This system requires more field operations, greater use of machinery, and more intervention to prevent unwanted vegetation. In addition, unprotected soil is more exposed to erosion, loss of structure, and poorer water retention.

In short, bare soil can involve intensive management and a high dependence on labour and maintenance.

3. Green Series cover crops

Compared with those two models, Agrosemillas proposes a third option: cover crops specifically designed to coexist with woody crops without creating significant competition.

Green Series fulfils the role of a cover crop, but with a key difference: it protects the soil, provides agronomic value, and at the same time simplifies farm management.

One of its strongest arguments is economic: its use can deliver maintenance savings of around 40%.

Why does Green Series reduce maintenance costs so much?

Because it is designed to minimise interventions and reduce soil-related work:

• It does not need mowing, which reduces machinery hours and time required
• It self-reseeds year after year for many years, avoiding new sowings
• It does not require herbicides, with the resulting economic and environmental savings
• It minimises the labour associated with farm maintenance

This makes Green Series a solution that not only protects the soil, but also improves the farm’s operational efficiency.

Beyond savings: agronomic benefits of the system

In addition to those savings, there are other relevant benefits for woody crops:

• Soil protection against erosion
• Improved soil structure
• Greater system balance
• Enhanced biodiversity
• Less competition with the main crop
• More rational and sustainable land management

It is not just about having vegetation on the soil, but about having a cover designed to provide real advantages without penalising the crop.

The future of farming is not only about producing more. It is about producing better, reducing costs, and making decisions that strengthen the farm in the medium and long term.

When Change Begins with a Decision in the Field

Agriculture changes when the decisions made in the field change. And few decisions are as significant as transitioning from conventional to organic management on a large-scale farm.

This is the case of Jesús Peñarrubia, a farmer from Ledaña (Cuenca), who manages a 300-hectare almond farm and shares his experience in this transition process with Agrosemillas.

His testimony reflects an increasingly prevalent reality in the sector: the need to produce with more sustainable criteria, without losing sight of the economic viability of the operation.

The Challenge: Producing Sustainably Without Compromising Profitability

Transitioning to organic is not just about changing inputs. It means rethinking the entire farm management: soil nutrition, weed control, cover crop management, and the relationship between all these factors.

On a 300-hectare farm, every decision is magnified. What works on a small plot doesn’t always scale well. And what seems viable in theory must be proven in the field, season after season.

Therefore, the transition to organic requires tools that provide real value without adding complexity or risk.

Green Series as an Ally in the Transition

Along this path, Green Series has become a useful tool for farms like Jesús’. Its ability to provide soil cover and agronomic value without generating significant competition with the crop aligns with the real needs of a farm in transition.

It’s not just about covering the soil. It’s about ensuring that cover works for the system, not against it.

In organic almond management, a cover crop that competes for water and nutrients can become more of a problem than a solution. Green Series, developed from Brachypodium—an indigenous species of the Mediterranean environment—offers contained growth that allows it to coexist with the crop without hindering its development.

What Green Series Offers on an Organic Almond Farm

The value of Green Series in this context is not in what it grows, but in what it solves. On a large-scale organic farm, the cover crop must fulfill several functions without creating dependencies or additional costs.

With Green Series, farmers can expect:

• Effective soil protection against erosion
• Progressive improvement of soil structure and life
• Natural control of broadleaf weeds, reducing the need for intervention
• Less competition for water and nutrients with the almond trees
• Simpler management, with fewer mowings and lower operating costs

All this translates into a more balanced, resilient farm that is more aligned with the criteria required for organic production.

An Increasingly Present Reality in the Sector

Jesús Peñarrubia’s case is not isolated. More and more farmers of woody crops—almonds, olives, pistachios, vineyards—are considering the transition to more sustainable production models. And in this process, the tools they choose make the difference between a viable transition and one that becomes complicated.

Sustainability is not a destination. It is a process built decision by decision.

Green Series: Cover, Protect, and Support

Green Series is not just another cover crop. It is a proposal designed to support the crop, not to compete with it. And on farms undergoing organic transition, this difference becomes a strategic advantage.

Because when farmers decide to change course, they need solutions that support them along the way, not ones that add uncertainty.

Because in organic farming, the best cover is not the one that grows the most. It’s the one that integrates best.

Beyond the rhetoric, it is important to measure how they affect maintenance costs and soil stability.

Among the most relevant indicators are the reduction of working hours, less use of herbicides, and a lower need for subsequent corrections.

A well-chosen cover crop improves soil structure and reduces the occurrence of recurring problems.

Green Series relies on proven solutions adapted to each context, which allows obtaining measurable and repeatable results.

Analyzing these data helps to make more informed decisions and justify investments to technicians and decision-makers.

Measuring the real impact turns sustainability into a management tool and not a simple concept.

Traditional plant control involves frequent clearing, herbicide use, and a high maintenance cost.

Vegetative covers allow the soil to be fixed, reduce erosion, and limit the growth of weeds when suitable species are selected.

Green Series has developed mixtures specifically designed for these environments, with hardy and controlled-growth species.

These covers require little intervention once implemented and offer stable results over time.

In addition to reducing operating costs, they improve the landscape integration of the project and reinforce its environmental component.

Incorporating vegetative covers in civil works is a technical decision that brings efficiency, sustainability, and long-term control.

1. Adaptation to any unevenness of the terrain

Green Series has an exceptional capacity to establish itself in areas with slopes, embankments, and changes in level.
Its root structure and growth mode allow the cover crop to remain stable even on irregular surfaces, reducing erosion and improving water infiltration.

2. Establishment by surface sowing

One of its greatest advantages is that it does not need depth to develop correctly.
Surface sowing:
Reduces labor and working time
Improves the percentage of emergence
Facilitates establishment in difficult soils
Minimizes the risk of excessive burial after rains or machinery passes
This makes Green Series an ideal solution for farms seeking efficiency and simplicity.

3. Resistance to the passage of heavy machinery

Green Series is designed to coexist with the farmer’s usual operations: tractors, implements, shredding of pruning remains, or treatments.
Its flexible structure and recovery capacity allow:
The cover crop is not destroyed after repeated passage of machinery
Maintain its soil coverage
Continue controlling weeds and protecting the land
This behavior is especially valued in woody crops such as pistachio, olive, almond, or vineyard.

A cover crop that goes further
These three aspects are only part of what makes Green Series unique: hardiness, self-seeding, low competition, and sustainability complete a proposal designed for the present and the future of regenerative agriculture.

At Agrosemillas, we continue working to ensure that every detail counts.
