Nematode resistant oil radish
COLONEL
Top level of nematode control
Benefits:
- Best results in resistance tests against Beet Cyst Nematodes - more than 90 % reduction in official tests
- COLONEL is highly effective and reduces the nematode population under the damage threshold - even a minor presence of nematodes can be reduced effectively
- Dense foliage for effective weed suppression due to a strong and healthy youth development
- The characteristic change from the vegetative to the generative development increases the frost susceptability and leads to an even mulch layer
- Perfectly suitable for sugar-beet/potato crop rotations due to ist inhibiting effect on the Tobacco Rattle Virus (cause of Corky Ring Spot)
- COLONEL transforms available nutrients into a rich mass of organic matter which is favorable for a stabilized humus balance
- Excellent suitability for agricultural blends

Cultivation recommendations:
| Recommended sowing rate | 25 - 30 kg/ha |
| Sowing depth | 2 - 3 cm |
| Sowing period | Mid July until early September - depending on location! Early sowing increases successfully the reduction |
| Fertilization | 40 - 60 kg N/ha |
| 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. |
