Winter rapeseed protection program
Winter rapeseed protection program from sowing to harvest: seed treatment, herbicides, autumn preparation for winter, spring protection against pests and diseases, protection at flowering and desiccation. The program is built by active ingredient; rates are given for a product with the stated a.i. content. Our agronomist will select specific products from the catalog.
