Shannon

Sugar beet variety Shannon® is a mid-late hybrid developed by Swiss breeders of Syngenta AG. This variety is characterized by high yield and high sugar content in the roots, making it in demand in agronomy for industrial cultivation. Root mass varies depending on growing conditions and can reach from 580 g to 1020 g, while sugar content ranges from 15.6% to 18%.

Shannon® has good resistance to major sugar beet diseases, such as Cercospora, powdery mildew, and rhizomania, which significantly reduces yield losses and enhances production stability. The variety is adapted to various climatic conditions, including the Central Black Earth and Ural regions, and was successfully tested under irrigation conditions, confirming its universality and reliability.

Due to its characteristics, the Shannon® variety is suitable for crop rotation and ensures a stable high yield of roots with high sugar content. This makes it a profitable choice for farmers seeking quality raw material for sugar production with minimal risks associated with diseases and climatic factors.
