TIZA

French Breeding Excellence in Sugar Beet

The «Tiza» sugar beet hybrid, developed by the renowned French house Florimond-Desprez Veuve et Fils, represents a classic Normal (NZ) type hybrid designed for consistent performance in intensive farming systems. This hybrid is the result of long-term breeding focused on maintaining an optimal balance between yield potential and technological convenience.

Disease Resistance and Crop Protection

The primary competitive advantage of «Tiza» lies in its robust genetic defense system. It is specifically bred to withstand common pathogens that often plague sugar beet fields. By providing high resistance against major threats, this hybrid allows growers to optimize their fungicide programs, thereby reducing production costs and increasing the overall profitability of the crop. Key areas of resistance include:

• Cercospora leaf spot;
• Powdery mildew;
• Damping-off (seedling blight);
• Root rots.

Such resilience ensures that the crop maintains its physiological health throughout the growing season, preventing significant yield loss.

Morphology and Technological Quality

The hybrid features a mid-sized, cylindrical-conical root, a morphology highly prized for efficient mechanized harvesting and minimal handling losses. In terms of processing, «Tiza» consistently delivers sugar content in the 17-18% range, meeting the stringent requirements of modern sugar refineries. Due to the genetic stability inherited from Florimond-Desprez, the crop exhibits excellent storage quality, ensuring that the roots remain in prime condition from harvesting through to processing.
