Cleancrop™ Aspiring swede, is a soft, early maturing, yellow-fleshed swede, offering a Cleancrop™ swede option for those farmers that prefer the bulb softness traditionally seen in Major Plus and more recently Earnslaw swede. Relative to Major Plus, Cleancrop™ Aspiring swede offers improved dry-rot and Alternaria tolerance, with the ability to control weeds through adoption of the Cleancrop™ Brassica System. The combination of soft bulb and greater disease tolerance makes Cleancrop™ Aspiring an option for all stock classes including younger stock when swedes are being used.

Control weeds. Increase yield

The Cleancrop™ Brassica System is a crop and weed management solution all in one.

Only Cleancrop™ combines the power of broad-spectrum herbicide Telar® and plants bred to resist it. Telar® takes care of 23 hard-to-control weeds at the time of sowing, freeing up moisture and nutrients to give your crop the best chance of maximising performance and delivering superior returns on your seed investment. Telar® cannot be used with conventional brassicas.
