Sugar beet LAMARCK

Yield-oriented performance for intensive farming

«Lamarck» by the German seed producer Strube is designed for growers who prioritize high output and stable sugar yield. As a high-yielding (E-type) hybrid, it shows excellent results in fields with high fertility and precise crop management, turning inputs into consistent tonnage.

Operational advantages in the field

The core advantage of «Lamarck» is its ability to produce large, uniform roots with an optimal sugar content of 18–19%. The rounded shape of the root is specifically advantageous for modern mechanical harvesting, as it ensures smooth lifting and minimizes breakage, reducing potential storage losses at the factory gate.

Agronomic management

• Disease resistance: The hybrid features robust genetic protection against rhizomania, cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, and various root rots. This resilience allows for a more flexible and efficient fungicide program, effectively reducing chemical pressure while ensuring crop health throughout the season.
• Seeding density: To achieve maximum potential, maintain a density of 90,000 to 110,000 plants per hectare. On highly productive soils with reliable moisture, aiming for the upper range (100,000–110,000 plants/ha) is recommended to fully leverage the hybrid’s capacity for large root development.

«Lamarck» is a practical solution for professional sugar beet production. By combining genetic disease resistance with high yield potential, it provides a stable foundation for a profitable harvest, even in challenging environmental conditions.
