PRESTIGE 00 Winter forage rape
Details
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
