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
