Secale cereale 'Dukato' / 'Matador' / 'Dankowskie Diament'

The primary benefit of this winter green rye is that the active root system reduces the leaching of minerals and humus from the soil. Furthermore, if mowed early in spring, the green growth makes excellent green fodder for livestock (including small livestock). Finally, a strong rye crop will grow in the summer! If you don't want the latter, the green growth can also be added to the compost heap and the root crown worked into the soil.
