Common vetch
NEON
Resistant and high yielding
Benefits:
- Resistant to Aphanomyces euteiches (Aphanomyces root rot)
- NEON is ideal for the production of protein-rich forage due to highest dry matter yields
- As a climbing legume, NEON is an ideal mixture partner for peas and oats, but also rye
- Forms a strongly branched root with rhizobacteria for N-fixation
- Secures the N-supply in mixtures already during the vegetation period
- Fastest initial development and thus reliable weed suppression
- Summer vetch is an appreciated mixture partner in non-winter-hardy mixtures
- The low TKG increases the suitability for mixtures with small-grain partners
- Leaves easily decomposable residues after winter and thus has an excellent pre-crop effect
- Visually striking flower and important nectar source for wild bees
