🌱 Pre-order now for the 2026 planting season (April-May). Available in packs of 100 or Big Bags of 10,000 rhizomes.

Why plant Miscanthus Rhizomes?

Agribiomix selects vigorous rhizomes to ensure a high survival rate and rapid establishment. Once planted, this crop requires minimal maintenance and zero nitrogen fertilizer after the second year.

• Biomass Energy: High calorific value for heating (biomass boilers) or biogas production.

• Animal Bedding: 3x more absorbent than wheat straw, dust-free, and compostable (ideal for horses, poultry, and cattle).

• Garden Mulch: Excellent water retention and weed suppression for horticulture.

• Game Cover: Provides shelter for wildlife (pheasants, partridges) during winter.

Planting Guide for Maximum Yield

To ensure a successful plantation, follow these technical recommendations:

1. Soil Preparation: Deep plowing (15-20cm) in autumn to prepare a fine seedbed.

2. Planting Depth: Plant rhizomes 5-10 cm deep when soil temperature reaches 10°C (usually April/May).

3. Density: 15,000 to 20,000 rhizomes per hectare (approx. 1 plant every 0.75m).

4. Weed Control: Critical during the first year until the canopy closes.
