Cultivation
Brassica rapa L. var. rapa (L.) Thell.
The forage use of turnip is implemented through the stubble turnip group, valued for the high yield of roots and leaves, cold tolerance, and a short growing season.
In the reference 42 varieties crop Turnip, where this is mentioned in the description.
For forage purposes, turnip (stubble turnip) is grown for biomass, reaching 400–1000 c/ha of root crops and 150 c/ha of leaves. The biological plasticity of the crop allows it to be used as a stubble crop, as seedlings can withstand frosts down to –5°C and roots down to –7°C, with a growing period of 70–100 days.
The utilization technology involves grazing livestock directly in the field, where the above-ground part is consumed first, followed by the roots. The nutritional value of stubble turnip is based on its high sugar and protein content; however, due to the presence of mustard oils, the diet of animals must be restricted to prevent spoilage of milk flavor.
