OTEX
Cover crop with strong early development
Benefits:
- Flexible use - for green manure as well as for forage production
- Rapid soil covering for effective weed suppression
- Additional organic matter for the activation of useful soil microorganisms
- Intensive rooting promotes soil fertility and protects against erosion
- Good stability for easy harvest before winter
- OTEX is not winter hardy
- Optimal in crop rotations with Maize, Oil seed rape and Potatoes
