- With a 50% increase in protein above straight cereals, Combicrop® enables you to grow a 13% to 18% protein concentrate - so eliminating the requirement of bought-in protein
- Growing Combicrop® for sale with its increased protein percentage translates directly into a higher price per tonne of grain-pulses sold
- Environmentally beneficial: the combination of cereals and peas minimises foliar disease and the free residual nitrogen produced by the peas is saved for the next crop
- Extremely versatile: you can combine it dry, crimp it, or Wholecrop it
