Catch crops
CODEX Saia oat / Bristle oat

Humus formation, Protection against erosion, Ground water protection / Nitrogen conservation, Green manure, Biogas- and fodder production

Advantages

The late Saia oat

Name addition
Saia oat / Bristle oat
  • CODEX has a long vegetative growing phase due to a late ear emergence
  • Necessity of processing to prevent from seeding is reduced - cost minimization
  • Break crop with rapid mass formation in the beginning, despite late ear emergence
  • Weeds and volunter cereals are suppressed by the high competitiveness
  • Intensive tuft roots and mulch layer after winter form effective erosion protection for the protection of the soil and surface waters
  • CODEX as a not winterhard crop is suitable for cover crop blends - as well as for oilseed rape crop rotations
