Fodder beet Atamansha

Maximizing Yield with Syngenta's 'Atamansha'

When choosing a sugar beet hybrid for intensive farming, reliability is the key factor. Its N-type (normal) classification ensures stable development throughout the growing season, which is crucial for predictable farm planning.

Field Performance and Disease Resistance

The standout feature of this hybrid is its comprehensive resistance package. It minimizes the need for excessive fungicide applications, saving both time and overhead costs. It stands firm against the most common threats:

• Rhizomania: Effectively resists the virus that often decimates less hardy varieties.
• Leaf spot diseases: High tolerance to Cercospora and Ramularia, keeping foliage healthy until harvest.
• Root rots: Strong resistance to oomycetes, ensuring the roots remain sound in the ground.

Harvesting and Efficiency

The large, oval-conical roots are designed for mechanical harvesting. From an operator's perspective, this shape is ideal: it sits well for the digger heads and minimizes trash and soil tare, ensuring cleaner loads. Because the roots are consistent in size, setting the harvest equipment is a breeze. Syngenta has delivered a product that doesn't just produce yield; it facilitates the entire production cycle from planting to delivery.
