SMART NARNIA KWS — this is a mid-late sugar beet hybrid, recommended for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Krasnodar Krai. The plants are characterized by medium height, leaf blades with medium glossiness and wrinkling. The root mass is approximately 372 grams, with an average yield reaching 335 centners per hectare. Sugar content in the roots is 18.8%, ensuring a sugar harvest of 63.5 centners per hectare. The hybrid exhibits resistance to root-eating pests and Phytophthora root rot, contributing to a stable and high-quality harvest.
The feature of SMART NARNIA KWS is its high resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides, enabling effective weed control without harming the crop. The hybrid is part of the innovative CONVIZO® SMART technology developed jointly by Bayer and KWS. This technology combines the use of KWS SMART seeds and the herbicide CONVIZO® 1, providing convenience, flexibility, and high effectiveness in protecting crops from weeds with minimal treatments.
Using the SMART NARNIA KWS hybrid in conjunction with the CONVIZO® SMART technology enhances plant resistance to pathogens, reduces water consumption, and ensures high yields. This integrated system of protection and cultivation promotes sustainable development of sugar beet crops, minimizing phytotoxicity risks and providing a stable economic return for farmers.
