Nematode resistant oil radish
DACAPO
For active biological nematode control
Benefits:
- DACAPO promotes the hatching of the nematodes and actively reduces the harmful population, resistance level 2
- The fast initial development and the dense leaves provide effective weed suppression and excellent tilth
- High flexibility regarding sowing time due to combination of quick inital development and delayed flowering
- DACAPO stores nitrogen during winter and provides it for the following crop in spring
- Massy habitus forms high amount of organic matter, liquid organic manure and fermantation remains are used effectively
- Widely branched, deep reaching root system improves the water- and air balance of the soil
