The cover crop mix for sugar beet cultivation

Profile

TerraLife®-BetaMaxx DT is a species-rich cover crop mixture developed for use prior to the cultivation of sugar beet. It contains deep-rooting species that promote the subsequent root growth of the beet. Good root development helps the beet plants to withstand dry spells. BetaMaxx DT contains deep-rooted radish, which penetrates the soil particularly deeply and promotes nutrient uptake by the cover crop stand. 

TerraLife®-BetaMaxx DT is not suitable for the biological control of Heterodera schachtii (in this case, we recommend TerraLife®-BetaSola).

  • With deep-rooted radish
  • Promotes diverse rooting and nutrient uptake
  • Targets beet and vegetable cultivation
