FIELDTIPS
Early maturing cycle, high yield and healthy:
the most widely grown round variety. Centauro
has a high and constant yield in all growing
environments, and features a strong but
well-balanced plant.
Its pearled kernel is much appreciated by farmers
because it is flawless. Its excellent resistance
to major diseases in normal growing conditions
and with balanced fertilisation means there is
no need for fungicide treatments.
