Oil radish
BENTO
Reduction of Corky Ringspot in potatoes
Benefits:
- BENTO interrupts the transmission of the Tobacco Rattle Virus carried by Trichodorus nematodes
- Strong initial development for effective weed suppression by deprivation of light, water and nutrients
- High input of organic matter as an additional contribution to the humus formation
- Ideal protection against wind- and water erosion and improvement of the soil structure by intensive root penetration of the soil
- Particularly suitable as a cover crop before potatoes
