“ordering again, previous phacelia germinated quickly and the bees had food”
Description
✅ Phacelia features very rapid growth effectively limiting weed infestation.
✅ Produces high biomass of 30–40 t/ha of green mass - making it an exceptionally efficient source of organic matter for soil.
✅ Does not require intensive fertilization or chemical protection.
✅ Phacelia seeds are used as fishing bait and as a natural supplement to wild bird feed.
Blue Phacelia Phacelia tanacetifolia is an annual plant from the borage family. Originating from North America, it has been cultivated in Europe for many years as green material and as a plant supporting agricultural production. It grows from 50 to 100 cm tall. Its leaves are pinnate, while the flowers – intensely violet – develop spirally in characteristic coils. The plant blooms long and evenly, which supports its use as a nectar source. Very attractive to both honey bees and wild beneficial pollinating insects.
✅ Application:
- Green manure - after plowing in, phacelia provides a significant amount of green mass that decomposes quickly improving humus content in the soil.
- Nectar source for bees - high nectar yield makes the plant frequently visited by bees.
- Average honey yield from blue phacelia is 300 kg/ha.
✅ Usage period:
For cover crop:
- Period: from mid-July to the end of August.
- Sowing rate: 10–12 kg/ha.
For bee forage:
- Period: from mid-April to mid-May.
- Sowing rate: 12–15 kg/ha to achieve dense flowering.
