Profile

CONVEX has a very thick cuticle and more lipids than other oil radish varieties. This promotes and nourishes soil life. CONVEX is resistant to beet cyst nematodes (Heterodera schachtii Cat. 2) and is one of the few varieties with the lowest tendency to flower (Cat. 1). CONVEX is therefore also suitable for earlier sowing dates. 

  • Very thick cuticle - more lipids to feed the soil life
  • Well adapted to early sowings
  • Resistance to beet nematods
