... for effective water protection
Benefits:
- The winter-hardy species have a high nitrogen uptake capacity and good nutrient storage potential
- Winter fodder rape EMERALD and winter turnip JUPITER root quickly into deep soil layers and also absorb available nutrients
- These nutrients are released during the peak growth period of the following maize from June onwards
- ANGLIAN GOLD marrow stem kale has good winter hardiness and, as a particularly tasty variety, makes the blend an attractive food source for game.
