Sugar beet SR 114 F

Stable Yields in Challenging Conditions

When dealing with fields prone to high infection pressure, selecting the right sugar beet hybrid is a matter of economic security. CP 114 F, a hybrid by the Belgian company Sesvanderhave Nv/Sa, is a strategic tool for agronomists operating in regions where rhizomania poses a constant threat. Its primary value lies in its ability to maintain high productivity where standard varieties often fail.

Agronomic Profile and Disease Control

The core strength of CP 114 F is its robust resistance to rhizomania. In field conditions, this hybrid demonstrates reliable performance, allowing growers to plan their seasons with predictable outcomes. Beyond its specific immunity, Sesvanderhave has integrated genetic resistance to cercospora into this hybrid. This effectively reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, which directly lowers the cost of production per ton.

• Root Shape: Round, optimized for mechanized harvesting with minimal tail breakage and losses.
• Sugar Content: Consistently high, ranging from 17% to 20%, ensuring strong profitability at processing facilities.
• Disease Protection: Built-in defense mechanisms against rhizomania and cercospora.

Practical Application on the Farm

This hybrid is designed for farms that prioritize a balance between total tonnage and sugar concentration. Due to its round shape, the root minimizes clogging in beet harvesters, allowing for efficient operation even at higher ground speeds. Incorporating CP 114 F into your crop rotation is a sound decision for fields that require soil pathogen management and high-performance genetics to protect the investment.
