MARGARITA KWS

Stable yields under high disease pressure

"Margarita KWS" sugar beet from the German breeding company KWS is the choice for agronomists working in fields with high risks of fungal outbreaks. In intensive farming systems, where soil pathogen buildup is a constant challenge, this hybrid demonstrates exceptional tolerance to root rots, effectively countering Fusarium infections.

Practical agronomic advantages

The primary task this hybrid solves in commercial farming is the minimization of harvest and storage losses. The oval-conical shape of the root provides optimal soil anchorage: it is deep enough to protect against temperature fluctuations while allowing for easy extraction by harvesters without excessive damage. This is critical for maintaining root integrity, as every mechanical injury is a potential site for decay during storage.

• Phytosanitary control: High tolerance to Cercospora leaf spot allows for a reduction in fungicide applications, lowering production costs and simplifying field logistics during peak seasons.
• Harvest efficiency: The root geometry is engineered for modern sugar beet harvesters, ensuring high-speed operation with minimal tail losses.
• Raw material quality: The hybrid maintains a high sugar yield even under challenging weather conditions thanks to a robust leaf canopy that closes the rows quickly, suppressing weed competition.

We recommend "Margarita KWS" for operations focused on predictable outcomes in regions with volatile farming conditions. This hybrid is particularly suitable for fields where crop rotation is constrained and the risk of soil-borne pathogens is persistent. It is a reliable tool for growers aiming to balance high yield potential with the certainty that the crop will remain in prime condition until delivery to the sugar factory.
