Sugar beet SMART EVITA KVS

A Technological Breakthrough in Crop Protection

The "Smart Evita KWS" sugar beet hybrid from the German breeding giant KWS is not just another hybrid in the lineup, but a cornerstone of the modern CONVISO SMART protection system. The main advantage of this product lies in its genetic tolerance to ALS-inhibitor herbicides, which allows farmers to control a wide spectrum of weeds without the risk of phytotoxicity to the crop itself.

Agronomic Profile and Yield Potential

This model belongs to the Normal-Sugar (NZ) type, making it a versatile solution for operations seeking a balance between high root weight and sugar content. The recommended planting density of 90,000–110,000 plants per hectare ensures maximum utilization of field potential under intensive cultivation technologies.

Crop Health and Resistance

Infectious pressure is a major concern for sugar beet growers. "Smart Evita KWS" demonstrates strong resistance to a complex of pathogens:

• High-level protection against Fusarium, various types of rot, and common scab.
• Effective defense against powdery mildew.
• Genetic resistance to downy mildew and ramularia, significantly reducing fungicide application costs throughout the season.
• Good tolerance to Cercospora leaf spot, a critical factor for beet cultivation in temperate climates.

Who is this hybrid for?

Choosing this hybrid is ideal for farms transitioning to smart farming technologies. It is the perfect solution for those looking to simplify herbicide logistics and minimize plant stress. While the dependency on crop rotation and the specific requirements of the CONVISO system are aspects to consider, the high productivity combined with phytosanitary reliability makes "Smart Evita KWS" a benchmark in the high-tech hybrid segment.
