Secale cereale
Long-straw ear bunch selection from a farm variety from Lake Constance (Heiligenberg)
.The variety has a medium grain maturity and yield and can also be used as green manure, so-called green rye (broad-cast on harvested garden beds). As a deep rooter, rye loosens heavy soils and is considered an ideal preceding crop. Thanks to its low water and heat requirements, its demands on the soil are very modest. In spring, the plants can be mown before tillage or left as bread grain. The grains have a good nutrient ratio
