BC 11 X E 9.22

Maximizing yield on challenging soils with Strube genetics

The sugar beet hybrid BЦ 11 X E 9.22 from the German breeder Strube is engineered for fields with significant phytosanitary risks. As a triploid hybrid of the 'E' (High Yield) type, its primary objective is to maintain productivity and sugar accumulation in environments challenged by rhizomania and beet cyst nematode.

Agronomic value and field performance

In intensive farming systems, the pressure from soil-borne pathogens can be a limiting factor for yield. BЦ 11 X E 9.22 serves as a biological solution, allowing farmers to maintain consistent crop performance on infected land without the need for intensive soil fumigation or restrictive rotations.

• Cercospora tolerance: This trait is crucial for reducing fungicide applications during humid and warm seasons, helping to maintain leaf health and photosynthetic capacity for longer periods.
• Nematode and Rhizomania resistance: By integrating these resistances, Strube offers a robust variety that performs consistently where susceptible hybrids would significantly underperform.

Practical application for farmers

Designed as an 'E' type hybrid, BЦ 11 X E 9.22 is focused on delivering high root tonnage. It is best suited for farms that prioritize total production efficiency. The triploid genetic structure contributes to strong initial growth vigor, which is essential for uniform crop establishment and effective weed competition in the early growth stages. By selecting this hybrid, agronomists gain peace of mind, knowing that the crop's genetic potential is protected against the most common and damaging beet diseases.
