CELSILK (ECO)

FODDER PLANTS / BRISTLE OAT

Avena strigosa Schreb.

A mid-early oat weevil variety, unfriendly to root-damaging nematodes

Effectively kills nematodes (unfriendly to root-damaging nematodes*)

Can reduce nematodes Pratylenchus penetrans by up to 97%

Thanks to allelopathy, it reduces soil weediness

The secreted avenocins overshadow the downy mildew

A low-cost plant, an excellent choice for green fertilization

Plants (stem with broom) - medium height/tall

Can grow 9 tons of green mass in 90 days

Grains are black

Grown as a green manure (80 kg/ha), can increase the yield of potatoes growing after them by 30%

GRAINS ARE VALUABLE FOR HEALTH

High content of β-glucans - 6.3%

The amount of α-Tocotrienol (α-TT3 ²) is 25.3 μg/g DM

The amount of α-Tocopherol (α-TP) is 10.2 μg/g DM

The amount of β-Tocotrienol (β-TT32) is 1.3 μg/g DM

The amount of β-Tocopherol (β-TP) is 1.5 μg/g DM

*According to the breeders of this variety, SILKE plants are unfriendly to root lesion nematode (RLN) and stubby-root nematode (SRN). The effect of nematodes is more pronounced in sandy or very heavy soils.

Plants sensitive to RLN (different species) are wheat, rapeseed, chickpea, mustard, vetch, barley, oats, peas, beans, narrow-leaved lupins, triticale.

SRN includes nematodes of two genera, Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus, affecting sugar beet, potatoes, vegetables, etc. Trichodorus obtusus Cobb (syn. Trichodorus proximus) mostly damages the roots of lawn grasses (but can damage a variety of plants), causing lawn spotting and dieback.

Note: It is not recommended to sow cereals after oats, because oats can suppress the growth of cereals due to allelopathic action, nitrogen accumulation (binding) from the soil and decomposition products (phytotoxic acids). There should be no problems when sowing beans under them.

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

SOWING RATE

Recommended seeding rate for nematode control: 80-120 kg/ha

Recommended seeding rate for erosion control/covering: 25-50 kg/ha

Recommended seeding rate when sowing green mass (forage, green fertilizer): 50-125 kg/ha
