The cover crop mix for potato crop rotations

Profile

SolaRigol R is a balanced mixture specially adapted to potato cultivation, which shades the soil well, ensures intensive root penetration and increases biodiversity. The soil structure is ideally prepared for dam cultivation and erosion within the dams is minimised. In addition, blue lupin reduces the infestation of tobacco rattle virus in potatoes like no other plant species. The summer vetch has a particularly positive effect on soil bacteria that protect the plants from pathogens. SolaRigol R contains nematode-resistant oil radish against beet cyst nematodes and root knot nematodes.

  • Including multi-resistant oil radish
  • Reduces disease susceptibility in potato crop rotations
  • Ensures rapid root penetration of the potato
