Hornet

The HORNET sugar beet hybrid from SESVanderHave is a mid-late maturing diploid variety of normal-sugar type (NZ), intended for medium harvest periods. This hybrid is characterized by high yield both in root mass and sugar content, making it a profitable choice for agricultural production. HORNET features excellent storage quality in crates, facilitating harvest storage and reducing losses during transportation.

The HORNET sugar beet exhibits high resistance to major diseases, including rhizomania and root rots, as well as moderate resistance to cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and ramulariosis. Additionally, the hybrid shows nematode tolerance, contributing to plant health and stable yields. Rapid row closure ensures dense and uniform crop development, while low alpha-amino nitrogen content promotes high-quality juice.

HORNET seeds are produced under strict quality control in factories in Ukraine and Belgium, guaranteeing high germination rates and uniform seedlings. SESVanderHave, a global leader in sugar beet breeding, applies modern technologies, including Start'Up activated seeds, which ensure vigorous plant development and uniform sowing. This enables farmers to achieve stable and high yields and sugar content, increasing production profitability.
