Sugar beet SR 110 M

Working with the CP 110 M hybrid

When selecting sugar beet seeds, choosing material from Sesvanderhave Nv/Sa is a matter of consistency for many agronomists.

Crop health and resilience

The primary concern for any beet grower is disease management during early and late growth stages. In the field, CP 110 M shows strong resistance to root rot (damping-off), which significantly saves costs on replanting or additional fungicide treatments during the seedling stage. Regarding foliage, the hybrid holds up well against cercospora and powdery mildew. Even during periods of high humidity, when the risk of rot increases, the crop remains stable, keeping the leaves green until harvest. For the operator, this means photosynthesis continues efficiently, allowing the root to gain weight consistently.

Root characteristics and harvesting

The root is shaped in a cylindrical-conical form, which is crucial for high-quality mechanized harvesting. The roots are large, dense, and show minimal tendency toward deformation. Losses due to broken tips are minimal, which directly impacts the total tonnage per hectare. Storage properties are also excellent — the hybrid maintains its sugar content well, even during logistics delays on the way to the processing plant.

Why do professionals choose this hybrid?

• Yield predictability: Belgian breeding from Sesvanderhave Nv/Sa consistently provides high output.
• Ease of harvest: The clean cylindrical-conical shape reduces wear and tear on harvesting machinery components.
• Lower input costs: High natural resistance to diseases allows for an optimized plant protection scheme.

If you are looking for a crop that combines a powerful start, pathogen resistance, and efficiency during the harvest, CP 110 M is a sound choice for intensive agriculture.
