Nematode resistant oil radish
COMPASS
The easiliy freezing-off Oil radish
Benefits:
- COMPASS freezes off easier and faster than conventional oil radish varieties
- High resistance against Beet Cyst Nematodes (Heterodera schachtii) in the upper range of resistance level 2+
- Long vegetative growth with low tendency to flower
- Deep and intense root penetration of soil ensures a good soil structure
- No additional costs for incorporation, especially suitable for mulch drilling and direct sowing methods
- Early sowing of sugar beets and maize in spring is possible because of quick soil warming caused by the thin mulch layer
