A new generation of cercospora tolerant sugar beet varieties.
CERCOTECH® varieties combine
Strong cercospora tolerance
- Slows disease progression
- Helps to maintain a green canopy to harvest
- Potentially optimizing fungicide applications.
High sugar yield
- Maximize photosynthetic efficiency
- Maintain high yield potential, especially under heavy disease pressure.
CERCOTECH® best practices
It is best to always combine CERCOTECH® sugar beet varieties with:
- A fungicide program, adapted to disease development
- A long crop rotation
- The incorporation of crop residues into the soil
CERCOTECH® benefits for farmers
- Helps to preserve yield and sugar content under medium to strong disease pressure
- Helps to keep cercospora inoculum in the field under control from year to year
- Further optimizes the number of fungicide applications
- Makes sugar beet growing more convenient
Both safer and better for the environment
