Too little and too much

Match plant traits to the farm’s water constraint

Groundcover can change evaporation, infiltration and trafficability, while species choice determines tolerance of drought, waterlogging and shade.

Cover changes the surface

Canopy and residue can reduce raindrop impact, protect pores and moderate evaporation. Actual water outcomes depend on soil, cover duration and crop demand.

02

Choose a stress strategy

Use different varieties for wet, dry and shaded niches.

  • Cayman Blend for periodic waterlogging
  • Camello or Mulato II for drought emphasis
  • Arachis Pintoi for humid perennial groundcover
03

Measure the field response

Pair rainfall and irrigation records with infiltration, trafficability, soil moisture and crop response.

Next step

Turn the page into a field conversation

Share location, crop, water regime and primary objective so the inquiry can reach the right regional specialist.
