Choosing cover crops with AI – made simple

Alora delivers concrete recommendations for the right cover crop on every field.

The question came right after harvest: Which cover crop fits my field in Merbitz? Instead of spending hours searching through articles, trials, and tables, we simply asked Alora.

The special part: Alora doesn’t just look at averages, but considers field-specific data – from soil type to the planned follow-up crop.

How Alora prepares the decision

Alora combines all available information and turns it into a well-founded recommendation:

site data such as soil type, slope, and water availability
current weather trends and soil temperature
previous main crop and planned follow-up crop
crop rotation rules, humus build-up, and weed pressure
if available: soil analysis and Nmin values

The result is not a generic suggestion, but a reasoned recommendation on which cover crop mixture makes sense – including alternatives.
