Sugar beet D 9.9 X N 3 5

Stable yields under high infection pressure

German selection from Strube typically focuses on complex resistance, and the sugar beet model «Д 9.9 Х Н 3 5» proves this approach. This diploid hybrid of the saccharine type (Z) is designed for farms that face aggressive leaf and root pathogen development annually. It is the preferred choice for agronomists working on fields with high infection risks where traditional varieties fail to withstand the pressure.

Protection against biological threats

The primary goal of this hybrid is to preserve yield potential under heavy pathogen impact. In field conditions, «Д 9.9 Х Н 3 5» demonstrates high tolerance to a complex of diseases:

• Rhizomania: reliable root system protection ensures plant density even on infected soils.
• Cercospora and Powdery Mildew: genetic resistance reduces the number of required fungicide applications, saving on crop protection budgets.
• Rots: resistance to Aphanomyces root rot prevents losses during storage and throughout the vegetation period.

Agronomic features and logistics

Due to its cylindrical-conical shape and average root size, this hybrid is optimized for mechanized harvesting. High crop uniformity minimizes mechanical losses during combine harvesting. From a logistical and processing perspective, the 18–19% sugar content makes this hybrid highly profitable, ensuring a high sugar yield per hectare without compromising root mass.

We recommend this hybrid for fields prone to soil-borne infections and for crop rotations with shorter sugar beet return cycles. It is a reliable "workhorse" for operations where the priority is a predictable result under unstable weather and phytosanitary conditions.
