Small seeded variety - ideal green manure-, green fodder- and cover crop
Vorteile:
- AVALON is characterized by its low thousand seed weight (TKW) of 300 - 350 g
- Small seeds allow lower sowing depth together with small seeded partners in blends
- High biological nitrogen fixation due to symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria
- Extended and deep root system with tap root and high biomass improves soil structure and
- allows nutrient mobilisation in deeper soil zones
- Valuable partner in cereal/legume blends for whole crop silage
- Useful accompany plant for winter oilseed rape sowing under high insect pressure
