Introducing the Fodder Turnip 'Marco' (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa), the quintessential green manure crop tailored for the progressive realm of agriculture. The 'Marco' variety stands out with its uniquely flattened, spherical root featuring a striking purple and white hue that enhances both its utility and visual appeal. Beyond their aesthetic value, the roots of 'Marco' are specifically cultivated to enrich animal feed, packed with a higher concentration of bitter substances and dry matter in the foliage than in the roots, offering nutritional benefits for livestock.

For optimal growth, 'Marco' requires moist soils and performs best in sandy clay soils that are not acidic. This variety does not only yield robust crops but also aids in the natural rejuvenation of the soil, enhancing soil efficiency and productivity. With a seeding rate of 3-4 kg/ha at a depth of 1.5-2 cm and spacing of 40-50 cm for the main crop, and a recommendation of 10-12 kg/ha for cover cropping, 'Marco' provides ideal growth conditions.

Beyond boosting crop assortment with its high yields, 'Marco' also contributes to soil quality improvement, making it an excellent choice for those seeking natural methods for soil regeneration. Each packet contains 100 g of 'Marco' Fodder Turnip seeds, with cultivation information and expiration date provided on the packaging, ensuring you are fully equipped to cultivate your crops successfully.

Embrace the dual benefits of aesthetic appeal and agricultural efficiency with Fodder Turnip 'Marco' seeds - a stellar choice for modern farmers and eco-conscious gardeners alike.
