Agronomic characteristics
Species with the advantage of rarely flowering before winter, even sown early (winter shuttle). This crucifer is easy to establish but more difficult to destroy. Its chemical destruction, quite difficult, is improved when it includes 2.4D or if it is preceded by rolling. The interest of turnip is also to be able to be used as fodder plant.
