FIELDTIPS
The continued focus on niche products has allowed Febo to attain a position of honour in the class of aromatics: its high yield, crystalline grain and high production, combined with its remarkable aroma are much appreciated by rice growers and mills.
The early cycle of Febo allows obtaining excellent results in the control of red rice with “stale seedbed” systems.
In particular weather conditions, it is recommended to protect the variety with at least one fungicide treatment. Febo is an alternative in the class of very early maturing crops.
