Ideal after cereal harvest

Profile

The demand for mixtures that tolerate heat and early sowing dates is growing. EarlySummer has been developed for early sowing dates and thrives in warm conditions. Thanks to its carefully selected mixture of species and varieties, the potential for seed set is low. As a brassica-free mixture, EarlySummer is an ideal cover crop in rapeseed crop rotations. EarlySummer is also particularly suitable for use as a summer cover crop in cereal cultivation. 

  • Tolerates dry conditions
  • Especially suitable as summer cover crop
  • Ideal within oilseed rape crop rotations
