Fodder beet REMOS

High-yield protection against field pathogens

The «Remos» sugar beet hybrid from the German company Strube is designed for agronomists dealing with high disease pressure. This diploid hybrid combines genetic resilience with steady performance, ensuring a high-quality harvest even in fields where pathogens have historically caused significant losses.

Performance and agronomic profile

Classified as a normal sugar type (NZ), «Remos» delivers a reliable sugar content of 19-20%. This makes it a preferred choice for producers who need consistent quality that meets both processing requirements and storage standards.

• Genetic health shield: Developed by Strube and Johannes Dieckmann, this hybrid offers robust resistance to rhizomania and cercospora. Its tolerance against root rot and damping-off (black leg) helps secure plant populations from the early stages through harvest.
• Development characteristics: Being a diploid hybrid, it exhibits excellent seedling vigor and uniform emergence. The plants develop rapidly, allowing for an early canopy closure which helps in weed suppression and maintenance of soil moisture.

In field operations, «Remos» proves its value in intensive farming systems where sugar beet is frequently included in the crop rotation. By mitigating the risk of fungal outbreaks, it reduces the need for aggressive fungicide interventions. It is highly responsive to balanced mineral fertilization and consistently provides predictable outcomes, even in seasons with weather patterns that typically favor the spread of leaf spot diseases.
