Swede Seed Sold in 1 kg packs

This swede variety which was bred in Scotland has good winter hardiness and can be used before or after Christmas.

It is 14% higher DM yield than Ruta Otofte according to Advanta trials.

All reports havebeen good with all round uniform bulbs with high fresh and dry matter yields. It has both club root and powdery mildew resistance.

Utilisation

September – April, depending on Variety and drilling date. Use the lower dry matter varieties first as they are less winter hardy. Use the higher dry matter later in the season as they are more winter hardy.

Livestock Intake

Select a variety that suits the required utilisation period. Most Swedes are grazed in situ; however it is advisable to use an electric fence to help reduce waste. You must introduce feeding to any Brasica slowly over two weeks. It’s best to have a grass or stubble run back.
