Winter rye
TRAKTOR
Modern variety for biomass and erosion protection
Benefits:
- Maximum output in dry matter yield is possible thanks to the excellent vitality of TRAKTOR
- The high stocking performance and intensive soil coverage in autumn offer good weed suppression and protection against wind and water erosions
- Leaching endangered nutrients are kept in the upper soil layer and the ground water is protected
- TRAKTOR reached already in early spring a maturity as an additional feed and biomass supplier before maize
- Also as a green manure in humus draining crop rotations, TRAKTOR provides reliably high organic matter for the maintenance of soil fertility
