Sugar beet Goeland

Consistent performance for high-yield farming

When selecting a hybrid for your sugar beet rotation, predictability is key. «Goeland» by Florimond-Desprez is a reliable choice that has proven itself in various field conditions. From an agronomist's perspective, the primary advantage is the consistent germination and uniform canopy development, which makes canopy management and weed control significantly easier.

Field-tested durability

Dealing with Rhizomania and Cercospora can be a nightmare during a wet season, but the genetic profile of «Goeland» provides the necessary safety net. The resistance to common scab is particularly noticeable; even on fields with heavy disease pressure, the roots remain clean and marketable. The oval-conical shape of the root is perfectly suited for modern harvesting equipment, ensuring minimal breakage of the taproot and, consequently, lower losses at the sugar factory.

Practical operational insights

• Harvest Efficiency: The roots are shaped for a clean pull, which reduces the load on the harvester’s digging shares and cleaning systems, leading to better fuel economy during the harvest window.
• Storage Quality: Because the root structure is robust, the crop stores well in clamps with minimal sugar degradation, protecting your bottom line from post-harvest losses.
• Input Optimization: The hybrid responds well to intensive fertilization, allowing for precise control over sugar accumulation levels.

Choosing Florimond-Desprez means relying on French breeding traditions that prioritize field performance. It is a no-nonsense, high-performing hybrid designed for operators who value equipment longevity and a clean, high-quality harvest.
