Introducing the Fodder Turnip 'Marco' (Brassica rapa subsp.rapa) – a stellar variety specially cultivated for the progressive farmer. This biennial crop stands out with its distinctive flat, spherical root featuring an alluring purple and white hue, not only adding a touch of aesthetic value but also serving a practical purpose. 'Marco' turnips produce roots that are supreme for animal feed, cherished for their higher content of bitter substances and dry mass in leaves compared to the roots, which can enhance the nutritional value of livestock diets.

'Marco' thrives in moist, non-acidic soils, performing exceptionally well in sandy-clay textures. This variety offers more than bountiful yields; it aids in the natural rejuvenation of soil, enhancing its efficiency and making it an invaluable choice for farmers dedicated to sustainable practices. For main crops, the sowing rates are 3-4 kg/ha with a sowing depth of 1.5-2 cm and rows spaced 40-50 cm apart, ensuring ideal conditions for robust growth. For cover crops, a denser sowing of 10-12 kg/ha is recommended. Choosing the 'Marco' variety can significantly enrich a farmer's harvest and contribute towards improving soil quality, embodying an excellent selection for those seeking natural methods of land regeneration.

Each packet contains 500 grams of 'Marco' fodder turnip seeds, complete with cultivation instructions and an expiry date printed on the back, ensuring you have all the necessary information to achieve a successful crop. Take your farm's yield to the next level with 'Marco' – where functionality meets sustainability.
