NANAUX

A mid-late, tall, anthracnose-resistant, small-seeded bean for intercropping/catch crops

• The smallest TGW (+/- 250 g)
• Quite tall plants
• Very good resistance to lodging and Anthracnose
• Coloured seed
• High protein content
• Companion plant to rapeseed
• Suitable for various mixtures
• Suitable as a cover crop

• Small seeds, great benefit
• Flowering – moderately late
• Flowers – coloured
• Plants – quite tall
• Resistance to lodging – low sensitivity
• Stem breaking – very low susceptibility (Casse tige – Very low susceptibility)
• General resistance to diseases – moderately susceptible
• Resistance to anthracnose – low sensitivity
• Resistance to bean rust – quite sensitive
• Seeds – dark (brownish)
• 1000 seeds weight – about 220-250 g
• The amount of protein in the seeds – high (22 %)
• Contains lots of vicine and convicine
• Suitable for greening, intercropping mixtures

Nanaux is a bean variety with a TGW lower than 50% of standard varieties (-65 g, compared to the control variety Diana). This characteristic allows Nanaux to be used in intercropping, mixtures of species, as a companion plant to rape, sowing under cover and other uses.

Nanaux has an ideal development cycle in the combination of legumes with rapeseed. Indeed, its low aggressiveness at emergence does not compete with rapeseed or only very little. On the other hand, the late flowering and the high height of Nanaux are major advantages for intercropping or sowing under cover.
