High biomass crop
Nutrient-intensive
Sensitive to high soil compaction
Key traits
Improves
Early root establishment and penetration through compacted soil layers
Supports
Rhizosphere health, competing with root pathogens
Promotes
The negative effects of soil structural issues on root development and yield potential
How Nando helps

Cultivation
focus:
Achieving rapid early canopy closure for light interception and weed suppression, maximizing root growth and sugar accumulation during mid-season; maintaining balanced fertility

Common
challenges:
Soil-borne root diseases (Rhizoctonia root rot, Aphanomyces black root), seedling diseases impacting stand establishment, boron (B) deficiency causing heart rot; soil compaction hindering taproot development
