Aspicard

Field Performance of Aspikard

When selecting a sugar beet hybrid, our priority is finding a balance between yield potential and disease resilience. Aspikard, developed by the Institute of Sugar Beets of the UAAS (Ukraine), is a reliable performer designed specifically for local climatic conditions. It’s a variety that responds well to standard management practices without requiring specialized input.

Disease Management

Cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, and root rots are the primary threats to sugar beet profitability. In the field, Aspikard demonstrates excellent tolerance to this spectrum of pathogens. This resilience allows for a more efficient fungicide application schedule, reducing the overall pressure on the crop and ensuring the roots remain healthy and intact until harvest.

Harvestability and Handling

For combine operators, root shape is critical. Aspikard produces large, cylindrical-conical roots that sit optimally in the soil profile. This structure ensures that the crop is easily extracted during mechanized harvesting, minimizing damage to the root tip and reducing the load on cleaning systems. Less damage during harvest means better storage quality and lower waste percentages.

• Originator: Institute of Sugar Beets of the UAAS, Ukraine.
• Health: High tolerance to Cercospora, powdery mildew, and various rots.
• Root Morphology: Large, cylindrical-conical shape for easy extraction.
• Operational Efficiency: Low harvest loss due to ideal root structure.

If you are looking for a hybrid that combines high yield with low maintenance and consistent harvestability, Aspikard is a proven choice. It provides the stability and performance necessary for successful sugar beet production.
