Winter turnip rape
JUPITER
For use as fodder, green manure and water protection
Benefits:
- Cheap, farmy-own feed to relieve the main fodder production and bridging feed gaps - very suitable for grazing
- High sugar content with low nitrate content provides good fodder quality and promotes digestibility
- JUPITER has a very fast vegetative development and is suitable for late sowing
- Nitrogen is absorbed quickly, biologically bound during winter and so conserved for the following crop
- Dense leaves - suppress weeds and protect against wind and water erosion
- Intensive root system actively promotes soil life and improves the soil structure
- Good winter hardiness prevents nutrient from leaching - effective water protection measures
