Sugar beet Venchaç

Stable yields with minimal risk

Serbian breeding from the IFVCNS (Novi Sad) institute is known for its adaptability, and the "Vencac" sugar beet hybrid is a prime example.

Disease resistance

The main headache in sugar beet cultivation is disease pressure. "Vencac" really stands its ground. In the field, it demonstrates excellent resistance to damping-off in early stages and successfully resists a complex of foliar diseases: cercospora, downy mildew, and powdery mildew. This means savings on fungicide applications, which is a significant plus for profitability given the current costs of crop protection products.

Technical specifics

• Root shape: the oval-conical shape minimizes losses during mechanized harvesting. The roots are medium-sized and uniform, which is critical for pile purity.
• Sugar content: consistently maintains levels in the 17-18% range.
• Seeding density: optimal performance is achieved in the 80,000–100,000 plants/ha range, depending on soil fertility and moisture availability. On chernozems with good water supply, we recommend sticking to the higher end of that range.

Working with this hybrid is straightforward; it responds well to intensive technology but remains low-maintenance under standard care. If you are looking for a reliable "workhorse" that won't fail in a bad year, "Vencac" will be a dependable asset in your crop rotation.
