Sugar beet BTS SMART 9635

Ensuring Consistent Yield Under High Disease Pressure

In regions where crop health is constantly threatened by complex soil-borne and foliar pathogens, choosing the right hybrid is a matter of financial stability. BTS SMART 9635, developed by the American company Betaseed, is a professional-grade hybrid designed specifically for farms that require robust genetics to safeguard their harvest quality.

Genetically Embedded Disease Defense

The standout feature of this sugar beet hybrid is its comprehensive resistance profile. While standard varieties might succumb to cercospora or powdery mildew, BTS SMART 9635 maintains a healthy, active leaf canopy until harvest time. This longevity is crucial for effective sugar accumulation, ensuring that the plant stays productive throughout the growing season.

• Pathogen Resistance: The hybrid shows excellent resistance to rhizoctonia (damping-off) and fusarium, which helps reduce the need for intensive chemical intervention during the early stages of establishment.
• Soil Threat Management: Its proven resistance to aphanomyces root rot and common scab makes it a reliable choice for fields with high infection history, where traditional varieties might struggle with seedling mortality.

Sugar Content and ROI

For an agronomist, BTS SMART 9635 represents predictability. With a sugar content ranging from 17% to 18% and high tolerance to various rots, the hybrid ensures minimal losses in root quality. This translates into reliable processing metrics, ensuring that the harvested product meets the specific requirements of sugar factories.

Field Application and Strategy

BTS SMART 9635 is the ideal choice for intensive farming operations looking to optimize fungicide application through superior genetic resistance. By choosing this Betaseed hybrid, growers can mitigate the risks associated with root rot and other fungal diseases, ensuring a consistent root mass and stable sugar yields even in seasons marked by high environmental stress. It is a robust, low-risk solution for modern, profit-oriented beet production.
