Advantages

... the N-flexible Potato trio

  • Reduction of viral Corky Ring Spot in potatoes with multi-resistant oil radish DEFENDER, rough oats PRATEX and spring vetch.
  • The three partners complement each other ideally in rooting: tufted roots of PRATEX and spring vetch, as well as the taproot of DEFENDER enable rooting of the entire topsoil.
  • As a legume, spring vetch provides additional nitrogen, from which the other mixing partners also benefit
  • High flexibility with changing nutrient availability
  • Fast-growing with intensive weed suppression
  • Abundant organic matter vitalises soil beneficial organisms
  • Moderate legume content of <30 seed % makes use possible within the framework of voluntary agreements (e.g. water conservation)
