Field bean
BIRGIT


High yielding, stable, and suitable for organic farming
Benefits:
- With an average protein content, BIRGIT is characterized by excellent protein yields
- Robust variety with rapid initial development even under unfavorable growth conditions
- With its leavy growth BIRGIT ensures a fast weed suppression and has therefore a good suitability for ecological cultivation
- Medium-sized, stable variety, characterized by a comparatively low thousand grain weight
- Robust seed coat with dark hilum provides a healthy grain and allows sowing without chemical seed treatment
- Conventional variety with medium tannin and vicin content - very suitable for ruminant feeding
- High valuable pre crop in cereal rotations which allows control of blackgrass
