Sugar beet CAVOS

Yield stability in high-pressure disease environments

When selecting a sugar beet hybrid for fields with a history of rhizomania, agronomists increasingly rely on the genetic protection developed by Strube. The «Kavos» hybrid is a primary tool for those aiming to minimize the risk of sugar content loss due to pathogens without compromising root mass.

Agronomic profile and growth characteristics

The key practical value of «Kavos» lies in its ability to maintain productivity even under intense cercospora leaf spot pressure. This allows farms to maintain flexibility in their fungicide application schedules, preventing critical reductions in photosynthetic leaf area towards the end of the vegetation period.

• Root shape: The oval-conical shape ensures optimal soil penetration, which significantly simplifies the harvesting process. The beets are positioned favorably in the soil, reducing losses during mechanical harvesting.
• Efficiency: The hybrid exhibits excellent uniformity, which is vital for maintaining consistent harvesting depth and ensuring the purity of the crop delivered to the processing plant.

When to choose «Kavos»?

This hybrid performs exceptionally well in farms focused on consistent, reliable results. If you are operating on typical sugar beet soils and face issues with soil fatigue, «Kavos» acts as a vital insurance policy. In crop rotations with high sugar beet density, where disease pressure builds up annually, resistance to rhizomania becomes the deciding factor in profitability. By choosing «Kavos», you are investing in a predictable outcome: a high-quality root that is easy to harvest, stores well, and ensures a high sugar yield during processing.
