Cleancrop™ Bulb Turnip
- High yielding bulb turnip
- Suitable for sowing from late spring through to late summer
- Suitable for summer/autumn/winter feed
Cleancrop™ bulb turnip is a high yielding, globe bulb turnip with medium maturity suitable for sowing from late spring through to early summer to supply feed in summer, autumn and early winter months. The added benefit of the Cleancrop™ Brassica System is that plants are bred to resist Telar® herbicide, allowing application at both pre- and post-emergence for excellent weed control.
4 trials: Kimihia (2013, 2016), Lincoln PFR (2013) and Ruakura (2016). In these trials conventional herbicides were used on both Cleancrop™ bulb turnip and Green Globe. Telar® was not applied. Where Telar® was used for Cleancrop™ bulb turnip and no herbicide applied to Green Globe, we would expect higher yields for Cleancrop™ bulb turnip.
Ultrastrike® pelleted turnip seed can be evenly distributed, as shown in this established paddock of Cleancrop™ bulb turnip in Waikato, allowing crop yield to be maximised.
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.

“Cleancrop bulb turnip has saved time and effort through a pre-emergent spray plan which made spring cropping so much easier than other years.” Brent says that “as the crop matured we found the weed pressure more controlled and it was noticeable that insects weren’t so dominant in our turnips.”
