Nematode resistant oil radish
ADAGIO
The top variety for reliable nematode control
Benefits:
- Reliable and proven resistance against Beet Cyst Nematodes in the upper range of resistance level 2
- ADAGIO is a well-known variety which is often used in agricultural practice
- Especially late flowering, for a long vegetative period
- Cost effective handling/chopping due to low growth
- Good regrowth assets and a low leaf attachment ensure a quick, renew soil coverage and efficient weed suppression after chopping - ideal for fallow greening
- Low tendency to radish formation, the root system convinces by enormous depth and intensive branching
- Leafy growth provides easily digestible organic material, which is available as a nutrition to the soil organisms
