Nematode-resistant catch crop

 

Oil radish

Nematode-resistant varieties are specified to reduce the beet cyst nematodes (Heterodera schachtii). With an active hatching stimulus the catch crops attract the larvae inside cysts lying in the soil to move into the roots of mustard and oil radish. Within the nematode-resistant mustard and radish varieties the nematodes are not able to develop to females: the immigrated larvae die or become male.

 

Depending on the degree of control, the varieties are classified according to their resistancelevel. Level 1 means that more than 90 per cent of all beet cyst nematodes have been reduced in official testing, varieties which have reduced these nematodes by 70 to 90 per cent are awarded a level 2 in resistance against beet cyst nematodes.

Level 1: COLONEL, COMET

Level 2: ADAGIO, PEGLETTA, DACAPO

 

Multi-resistant varieties are those which in addition are able to reduce gall-inducing, free-living and virus-transmitting nematodes.

Level 1: CONTRA

Level 2: DEFENDER

 

White mustard

Because it can easily be sown, has a fast initial development and tolerates late sowing, white mustard is a popular green manuring crop. White mustard is winter-killed.

 

Growing nematode-resistant white mustard leads to a reduction of beet cyst nematodes in beet crop rotations. Late-flowering varieties, because of the possibility of early sowing, are more suitable for nematode control

Level 1: ACCENT

Level 2: ABSOLVENT, FORUM, LOTUS, LUNA, MAXI, PROFI

Oil Radish

Oil radish is a very deep-rooting plant which opens up soil compaction and gives the soil a lot of organic matter. Due to this oil radish is a good protection against nitrogen leaching over winter.

 

Particularly for potato crop rotations, varieties have been selected for their features of controllingPotato Ringspot syndrome caused by the Tobacco rattle virus (TRV). LUNETTA, BENTO, SILETINA, SILETTA NOVA

Saia oat

Avena strigosa is an old cultivated plant, described as Saia oat by J.C. von Schreber in the 18th century. It is a primitive form of oat and its gowing cycle is similar to grass. PRATEX is a selction to reduce root lesion nematodes (Pratylenchuspenetrans) without multiplication of Trichodorus nematodes.

 

Winter turniprape

High Quality, good production. JUPITER

 

Phacelia

Phacelia is not related to our cultivated plants and interrupts crop-rotation diseases. As a crop grazed by bees, it is a further source of nectar during the summer times when little food is available for them. AMERIGO, ANGELIA

 

Forage Rye

Forage rye is an excellent provider of biomass and forage in the crop rotation before and after maize. The pre- of forage rye followed by silage maize is especially efficient in locations with good water supply and spring weather that facilitates growth. PROTECTOR

 

Fodder rape

Winter forage rape isn‘t only a food supplier but also offers advantages as protection against erosion, supplier of humus and the fixation of nitrogen in danger of being elution. EMERALD, FONTAN, HERZOG
