TISSERIN

Agronomic efficiency and harvest quality

When operating with 'Tisserin' sugar beet by Florimond-Desprez Veuve et Fils, the primary advantage for any farm is its predictable performance. As a Normal-Sugar type (NZ) hybrid, it serves as the perfect balance between high root tonnage and consistent sugar content, which typically hits the 16-17% mark. For the operator, this means reliable yields and high quality for the processing plant.

Field performance and disease resistance

The standout feature of Tisserin is its genetic resilience. In our experience, its resistance to fusarium rot is a major economic benefit, as it significantly lowers the need for intensive fungicide spraying. Even under high-pressure conditions where powdery mildew poses a threat, the hybrid maintains a healthy canopy throughout the growing season. A robust leaf system is crucial for late-season sugar accumulation and makes mechanical harvesting much smoother, as the plants remain upright and uniform.

Practical takeaways for the grower

• Root Geometry: The large conical shape is ideal for standard harvesting machinery, allowing for efficient extraction from the soil with minimal harvest losses.
• Ease of Management: The hybrid shows high uniformity, meaning fewer adjustments are needed on the harvester during the campaign.
• Reliability: Florimond-Desprez consistently delivers high-germination seeds, ensuring an even stand right from the start of the season.

From the perspective of field management, Tisserin reduces the stress of the growing season. By choosing this hybrid, you are investing in a product that handles environmental stressors well, allowing the equipment and labor to work at peak efficiency.
