For cover crop and grain use
Benefits:
- Crop rotation neutral cover crop with fast and healthy development
- Undemanding in soil and climatic conditions
- Tap root with great depth for a good soil structure
- Very suitable as a partner in cover crop blends
- Due to high grain yields with high oil content (42.6% in HGCA description list Flaxseed Spring-2014, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board in England), JULIET is ideally suited for grain use
- Winter hardiness up to -5 ° C
Included in blends: viterra® BIENE ECO 2.1, viterra® MAIS, viterra® MAIS N-PLUS, viterra® NIEDERWILD, viterra® POTATO, viterra® ROTATIONSBRACHE 1.a
