Advantages

... for effective water protection

  • The winter-hardy species have a high nitrogen uptake capacity and good nutrient storage potential
  • Winter fodder rape EMERALD and winter turnip JUPITER root quickly into deep soil layers and also absorb available nutrients
  • These nutrients are released during the peak growth period of the following maize from June onwards
  • ANGLIAN GOLD marrow stem kale has good winter hardiness and, as a particularly tasty variety, makes the blend an attractive food source for game.
