  • Suitable for green fertilization or cover crop mixtures

The varietal parameters may differ from those indicated here when the testing circumstances differ from quondam


Recommended sowing rate: 6-8 kg/ha.

For late sowing period or if there is a poor dispersion or high proportion of organic material/straw after harvest, the seed rate should be increased up to 18 kg/ha.

It is recommended to sow in mid-August, since sown earlier (until mid-July) will not produce large roots (plants will start flowering).
