Nematode resistant White mustard
LOTUS
Late flowering and very high suitability for direct sowing
Benefits:
- High nematode resistance in the upper range of resistance level 2
- Good weed suppression by light-, water- and nutrient-deprivation
- Ideal nutrient-fixing, especially nitrogen and protects them during winter from shifting into deeper soil layers
- LOTUS freezes off reliably during winter and supplies an easy to handle mulch layer in spring that is suitable for mulching and direct sowing
