Sugar beet TIBUL

Stable yields with high sugar content

The German breeding house Strube developed the "Tibul" hybrid for farmers focusing on the classic sugar type (Z). In modern agriculture, where pathogens are becoming increasingly aggressive, this hybrid offers a balance between physiological resilience and sugar yield potential. Its key advantage is resistance to foliar diseases, which allows for reduced fungicide applications without risking yield loss.

Phytosanitary defense

"Tibul" demonstrates distinct tolerance to two major threats in sugar beet farming: Cercospora and Ramularia. Unlike many hybrids that succumb to infection by late August, "Tibul" maintains the photosynthetic activity of its leaf canopy until late autumn. For the grower, this translates into:

• Preservation of leaf surface area until harvest time.
• Consistent sugar accumulation (16–17%) even during a prolonged autumn.
• Minimized storage losses due to the physiological health of the roots.

Who should choose "Tibul"?

This hybrid is optimal for farms operating in regions with moderate to high disease pressure. The large, sugar-type (Z) root ensures stable yields across various soil types. While it does not claim to be a high-mass record-breaker, its primary strength is stability. If your priority is a guaranteed outcome and predictable sugar content while lowering pesticide impact, Strube's "Tibul" is a reliable tool for your crop rotation.

The hybrid requires careful management of seeding density to achieve optimal root size, but when grown according to Strube's standards, it consistently delivers high sugar yields per hectare.
