Fodder radish CANNAVARO

A late tetraploid fodder radish, 1^st class of resistance to beet cyst nematodes

• High biomass
• Tall plants
• Good lodging resistance
• Suitable for nematode control, biofumigation, soil improvement

• Long growing season
• Flowering – late
• Plants – tall
• Produces a lot of green mass
• Root development – medium
• Susceptibility to frost – high
• Production of organic matter – very high
• Very resistant to:
  • Beet cyst nematode (BCN) (Heterodera schachtii)
  • Ditylenchus dipsaci
  • Rhizoctonia
• Less resistant to Meloidogyne hapla (Root-knot nematodes)
• Plant height – 67 (57-76) cm
• Resistant to lodging – 1 point (out of 9, when 9 is totally lodged)
• Vitality – 8.3 points (out of 9)
• Green mass yield potential – 41.71 (40.1-43.32) t/ha
• Dry mass yield potential – 4.18 (3.87-4.49) t/ha
• Amount of dry matter – 12.3 (11.8-12.8) %
• Beet nematodes:
  • Attack index - 0.76
  • Resistance index 94.62
  • Class H1 (strongly reduces the amount of beet nematodes)

*Data from VATE (Agronomic, Technological and Environmental Assessment) studies 2011-2012, GEVES, France

• Suitable for use:
  • For nematode control
  • For biofumigation
  • For erosion control
  • For fodder, but the quality of the fodder is medium
  • For nitrogen production /trapping in the soil
  • For weed suppression

• Not very suitable for use:
  • For biogas production
