Stubble Turnip (Brassica rapa)

Ref: STUBTUR

Turnips are grown in most areas of the UK as a highly digestible catch crop, producing around 4.5t DM per hectare within 10-12 weeks from sowing. Early sowing from late April produces heavy crops for dairy grazing or for fattening lambs weaned off grass from July onwards. Sowing also takes place throughout the summer until late August for feed through until January.
