Canyon

Stable yields under high pathogen pressure

Choosing the Sesvanderhave Nv/Sa "Kanyon" sugar beet hybrid is a strategic move for farms operating in areas with a high risk of fungal diseases. Belgian breeding focuses heavily on integrated phytosanitary protection, which significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications.

A phytosanitary shield for your field

The main advantage of "Kanyon" is its genetic stability. Unlike many competitors, this hybrid possesses strong resistance to rhizomania, a disease capable of destroying up to 50% of the yield. Additionally, breeders have bolstered the plant's immunity against:

• Cercospora leaf spot;
• Powdery mildew;
• Root rot pathogens;
• Various fungal rots.

This makes it a workhorse for regions with humid climates or intensive crop rotation, where the buildup of soil-borne pathogens is inevitable.

Sugar content economics

A sugar content level of 18–19% places this hybrid in the premium segment. The medium-sized root crop combined with such high sugar concentration allows for excellent processed output per hectare. This is critical for delivering crops to processing plants where sugar beet quality is determined by polarization tests.

Who is this choice for?

"Kanyon" is ideal for farmers focused on reliability. If your strategy involves risk mitigation and obtaining predictable results without the need for constant scouting and spraying, this hybrid will deliver. Its inherent robustness forgives minor lapses in agronomic practice, although timely harvesting is still required to maintain that peak sugar percentage.
