A late tetraploid fodder radish, 1^st class of resistance to beet cyst nematodes

• High biomass
• Tall plants
• Good lodging resistance
• Suitable for nematode control, biofumigation, soil improvement

• Developed for nematode control
• Wide range of nematodes to be destroyed
• Grows easily and rapidly in cool weather
• Produces a lot of biomass in 60 days
• Flowers – purple
• Contains high amounts of glycosides, which act as biofumigants, when incorporated into moist soil
• For the purpose of biofumigation, it should be incorporated before the flowering stage, at least 3-5 weeks before sowing following plants
• Controls the incidence of the nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi (Columbia Root Knot Nematodes (CRKN)) when planted after harvesting potatoes or carrots
• The branching root system collects and binds a lot of nitrogen, protecting it from leaching
• Strong and deep root system. Many lateral roots, which are concentrated closer to the soil surface, improve soil structure and water infiltration
• Into soil incorporate biomass is food for microorganisms
• Grown as a green manure in potato and carrot crop rotations, reduces the amount of pesticides and synthetic biofumigants to control the nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi (kills up to 90 % of these nematodes)
• Grown as a green manure in potato crop rotation, reduces pesticide and synthetic biofumigants for control of the nematode Meloidogyne rostochiensis (Potato Root Eelworm)
• Prefers well-drained soils with a pH of 6.4-7.3
• Many additional roots loosen the soil even better than the taproot of tillage radishes

• Viability/growth rate – fast
• Soil coverage – strong
• The height of the plants – medium
• Flowering time – late
• The amount of biomass – high
• Root system – many additional roots
• Type of rooting – deep
• Nitrogen accumulation in the plant –high
• Accumulation of phosphorus in the plant – high
• Accumulation of potassium in the plant – high
• Nutrient return – moderately high
• C/N ratio – low
