HILLESHÖG develops its own CERCOTECH® sugar beet varieties, which combine a strong cercospora tolerance with high sugar yield.
Benefits of CERCOTECH® sugar beet varieties
- Help to preserve yield and sugar content under medium to strong pressure
- Help to keep cercospora inoculum in the field under control from year to year
- Further optimise the number of fungicide applications, which makes sugar beet
growing more convenient and is safer and better for the environment
