160–170 g

Agrophone

A level field at seeding helps to minimise harvest losses.

Disease resistance

Crop protection

Inoculant and fungicide treatments are obligatory. In the southern regions — where bean seed fly is widespread — addition of an insecticide to the fungicide is required

Intended use

Forage, food, industrial

Harvesting

It is recommended to begin harvesting at low harvester rotor speed as soon as the seed moisture reaches 14 -18%. Late harvesting at 12% moisture content may result in up to 15% yield losses and quality reduction
