Nematode resistant oil radish

AMIGO

The new generation of biological nematode control

Benefits:

  • Beet Cyst Nematode control at the highest level, over 90% reduction of Heterodera schachtii (resistance level 1)
  • AMIGO promotes the hatching of the Beet Cyst Nematodes and reduces actively their population to a level under the damage threshold
  • Improved initial development with fast soil coverage for excellent tilth formation and effective weed suppression
  • Intensive root system binds nutrients and protects them against displacement into deeper soil layers
  • Plenty of organic matter promotes the humus balance and activates the soil life

Crop protection Usually there is no plant protection required.
Sowing method In order to gain a fast and even development of the oil radish plants, drilling after careful soil preparation is recommended.
