Advantages

Valuable for troughs and soil

Name addition
Winter forage rape
  • Provides high green and dry matter yields for cattel feeding or for a humus-increasing green manure
  • PRESTIGE 00 is free from erucic acid and glucosinolates and is therefore particularly tasty
  • Protein rich and well digestible forage for pasture, fresh fodder or silage
  • Free available nutrients are bound in organic mass and conserved during winter - a valuable contribution to water protection
  • Weeds are efficiently suppressed by the rapid initial development and mass-intensive growth
  • Left behind a good soil structure down into deep soil layers for the following maize
  • Good winter hardiness for excellent suitability in winter-hard cover crop blends
