Brown mustard
- Low requirements on soil and climate make TERRAFIT a undemanding cover crop
- Fast initial development for good erosion protection and weed suppression
- Stabilizes the humus content by providing valuable organic matter
- Freely available nutrients are bound and protected against shifting into rootless layers
- Due to the particularly high amounts of glucosinolates in the leaves and grains, TERRAFIT is very well suited for combating soil-borne diseases by biofumigation technology
