Frequently asked questions

Which cover crop is best for oil palm in the Philippines?

Mucuna bracteata (MB) is the top choice for Philippine oil palm plantations. MB produces dense, multi-layered ground cover within 8--12 months, fixes 150--200 kg N/ha/year, and suppresses weeds including Imperata cylindrica (cogon grass). For a detailed comparison, see our oil palm cover crop guide.

What is the difference between Pueraria javanica and Mucuna bracteata?

PJ establishes faster (4--6 months to full cover) and tolerates shade well, making it ideal for mature plantations. MB takes longer (8--12 months) but produces thicker biomass and stronger weed suppression. PJ is easier to manage; MB requires initial training on support structures. See our PJ vs MB head-to-head comparison.

How much cover crop seed do I need per hectare?

Seeding rates vary by species: MB requires 0.5--1.0 kg/ha, PJ needs 2--4 kg/ha, CM requires 3--4 kg/ha, CP needs 2--3 kg/ha, and CC requires 2--3 kg/ha. Rates may increase for steep slopes, poor soil, or broadcast (vs. line) sowing. Contact us for bulk quantity pricing for large Philippine plantation projects.

Can cover crops control erosion on sloped Philippine terrain?

Yes. Leguminous cover crops reduce surface runoff by 60--80% and topsoil loss by up to 90% on slopes of 15--30 degrees. They are widely used in Mindanao, Visayas uplands, and Cordillera watersheds. Read our erosion control guide for species selection by slope gradient.

Do you ship cover crop seeds across the Philippines?

Yes. Kudzu Seeds Trading ships to all Philippine provinces and regions, including Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon. We supply both retail and bulk orders for plantation companies, government agencies (DA, DENR, LGU, BSWM), cooperatives, and individual farmers.

What is an RB Lure and how does it relate to cover crops?

An RB Lure is a rhinoceros beetle pheromone trap used in integrated pest management (IPM) for oil palm and coconut plantations. Cover crops like MB reduce beetle breeding habitat by covering decomposing organic matter. Using RB Lures alongside cover crops provides dual protection. See our RB Lure product guide.

Cover Crop SeedsCentrosema pubescens (CP) Centrosema pubescens (CP) is a shade-tolerant perennial legume cover crop for plantation inter-rows and agroforestry. It fixes nitrogen even under canopy shade up to 80% (120 to 270 kg N/ha/year) and forms persistent ground cover in 4 to 8 months. Kudzu Seeds Trading supplies CP seed (germination-tested, ISPM 7 and BPI phytosanitary certification) for the Philippines and export. PLANT CHARACTER Robust, creeping perennial legume with good shade tolerance. Produces persistent ground cover even under established plantation canopies. Deep-rooting system contributes to subsoil nutrition and aggregate stability. USES Nitrogen fixation under shade, erosion control, soil cover in cacao and agroforestry systems, and establishment for replanting and slope protection. Centrosema pubescens sustains biological nitrogen fixation at 120-270 kg N/ha/year even under canopy shade up to 80%, making it a strong choice where other cover crops struggle beneath closed cacao or rubber canopies. Tissue nitrogen remains stable at 2.4-2.7%, maintaining continuous fertility contribution through leaf turnover. See how CP performs against other species in our five-species cover crop comparison. GROWTH HABIT Achieves dense ground cover within 4-8 months under adequate rainfall. Requires good conditions during establishment but produces persistent, self-maintaining cover once rooted.

Mucuna bracteata cover crop seeds by KudzuSeeds
Cover Crop SeedsMucuna bracteata (MB) Mucuna bracteata (MB) is a vigorous perennial legume cover crop for young oil palm and rubber. It fixes 67 to 84% of its nitrogen from the air (150 to 200 kg N/ha/year), reaches 100% ground cover in about 6 months, and suppresses weeds by 94.7 to 99.9% versus bare inter-rows. Kudzu Seeds Trading supplies MB seed (germination-tested, ISPM 7 and BPI phytosanitary certification) for the Philippines and export. PLANT CHARACTER Perennial, creeping, aggressive climber. Thick stems and pseudo tap roots extending 2 to 3m deep. Branches from each node. Adventitious roots do not form easily from nodes touching the ground. USES Nitrogen fixation, weed suppression, erosion control, soil moisture and temperature regulation, and soil organic matter improvement. Research conducted by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) confirms that Mucuna bracteata derives 67 to 84% of its nitrogen directly from the atmosphere, delivering 150 to 200 kg of fixed nitrogen per hectare per year under Southeast Asian plantation conditions, a proven reduction in synthetic fertiliser dependency. Learn how MB compares to other species in our five-species cover crop comparison. GROWTH HABIT Shade tolerant during establishment. Initial growth is slow during the first 8 to 10 months before becoming highly prolific. Achieves 100% ground cover within 6 months under adequate rainfall, confirmed as the fastest canopy closure of any cover crop tested in Malaysian plantation trials. WEED CONTROL The dense legume mat suppresses weed density and dry weight by 94.7 to 99.9% versus unweeded control plots in oil palm inter-rows, effectively eliminating Imperata cylindrica (lalang/cogon grass) and broadleaf competitors, reducing or eliminating herbicide passes. PLANTING TYPE & SEEDING RATE Monoculture: 85 to 100 g/ha PLANTING METHOD Nursery then field transplanting in points (holes) DRY MATTER PRODUCTION Up to 28 t/ha/year (open canopy); about 13 t/ha/year under 60 to 70 percent shade (MPOB) NO.

Pueraria javanica cover crop seeds by KudzuSeeds
Cover Crop SeedsPueraria javanica (PJ) Pueraria javanica (PJ), also called tropical kudzu or mani-mani, is a fast-growing tropical legume cover crop for rubber, coconut, oil palm and banana. It fixes nitrogen up to about 250 kg N/ha/year at full ground cover, forms dense ground cover quickly, and sharply reduces erosion (up to 88% less runoff in replanted rubber). Kudzu Seeds Trading supplies PJ seed (germination-tested, ISPM 7 and BPI phytosanitary certification) for the Philippines and export. PLANT CHARACTER Fast-growing, trailing to twining annual/short-lived perennial legume. Forms a dense, self-regenerating ground cover under rubber, coconut, and banana plantation canopies. Deep root system contributes to subsoil moisture access and nutrient cycling across tropical plantation conditions. USES Nitrogen fixation, erosion control, soil moisture retention, potassium cycling, weed suppression, and cover crop for replanting phases. Field research confirms Pueraria javanica can fix up to 250 kg of nitrogen per hectare per year, with 85-93% of that nitrogen drawn directly from the atmosphere at full ground cover. In replanted rubber, a legume cover including Pueraria reduced runoff by 88% and soil loss by 98% versus bare soil (Perron et al., 2024). See how PJ compares to other species in our five-species cover crop comparison. GROWTH HABIT Vigorous establishment under full sun and moderate shade. In Zamboanga Peninsula trials (Department of Agriculture Region 9), Pueraria javanica produced 14,347 kg of fresh biomass per hectare at 150 days after planting. Biomass decomposes at 95.66% within 3 months, releasing 3.572% N, 0.245% P, and 0.809% K directly back into the root zone. COCONUT & MULTI-CROP USE Established as a basin legume in coconut, Pueraria javanica contributes 28.45 kg of biomass and 196.2 g of nitrogen per basin, and can substitute up to 30% of nitrogen fertiliser requirements (Indian Coconut Journal, 2022). Well-suited to intercropping systems across tropical plantation regions worldwide.

It is taxonomically distinct from Pueraria montana var. lobata, the aggressive vine commonly known as "kudzu" in the United States. PJ grows as a controlled ground cover, does not climb aggressively into tree canopies, and has been safely used in oil palm and rubber plantations across Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines for decades.
