DACAPO Nematode resistant Oil radish Oil radish

Reduction of Beet Cyst Nematodes, Green manure, Ground water protection / Nitrogen conservation, Mulch sowing, Humus formation, Protection against erosion, Biofumigation

Advantages

For active biological nematode control

Name addition
Nematode resistant Oil radish
  • DACAPO promotes the hatching of the nematodes and actively reduces the harmful population, resistance level 2
  • The fast initial development and the dense leaves provide effective weed suppression and excellent tilth
  • High flexibility regarding sowing time due to combination of quick inital development and delayed flowering
  • DACAPO stores nitrogen during winter and provides it for the following crop in spring
  • Massy habitus forms high amount of organic matter, liquid organic manure and fermantation remains are used effectively
  • Widely branched, deep reaching root system improves the water- and air balance of the soil
