Spanish term or phrase: verdeos
El manejo nutricional es totalmente a pasto, utilizando pasturas con base alfalfa en primavera-verano y verdeos en otoño-invierno (fundamentalmente centeno). Si es necesario se los suplementa con rollo de alfalfa o maíz picado fino hasta el 1% de peso vivo.

Explanation:

In Latin America rotations, green manures and cover crops have increased yield from 20% - 250%.

Cover crops are grasses, legumes or small grains grown between regular grain crop production periods for the purpose of protecting and improving the soil. The most common cover crops in Indiana are fall-seeded cereals, such as rye or wheat, and fall-seeded annual ryegrass. Late summer-seeded spring oats are sometimes used, even though they winterkill. Late summer or early fall-seeded legumes, such as hairy vetch, bigflower vetch, Austrian winter peas and crimson clover, may also serve as alternative crops for winter cover.
Advantages of Using Cover Crops
Water erosion control. This is one of the two major reasons for growing winter cover crops in Indiana. Over 40 percent of our 13.5 million cropland acres have sufficient slope to be seriously damaged by water erosion if not adequately protected.
