BTS 1715

Maximum protection against field diseases

When dealing with sugar beets, the most critical challenge is often not the maximum genetic potential, but the ability of the crop to survive under high disease pressure. The BTS 1715 hybrid from the American breeder Betaseed has proven to be a reliable partner in fields where other varieties fail due to soil-borne pathogens. It is a choice for those who value operational predictability.

Field-proven resilience

The primary advantage of BTS 1715 lies in its robust immunity. We have seen firsthand its strength against Rhizoctonia, which is often a crop-killer. Along with Fusarium, Cercospora, and powdery mildew control, this hybrid maintains leaf health through the end of the season with standard fungicide programs. Furthermore, its resistance to Aphanomyces root rot is a major operational benefit, particularly in fields with intensive crop rotation schedules.

Production efficiency

As a normal-sugar type (NZ), BTS 1715 is perfectly balanced. It does not require complex, non-standard agrotechnical adjustments to accumulate sugar effectively, making it very responsive to traditional management practices. From an operator's perspective, this means less time spent worrying about crop physiological stress and more focus on efficient logistics.

• Disease resistance: Reduces the need for additional rescue fungicide applications.
• Consistency: The uniform development of the taproot ensures easier harvesting and better processing outcomes at the factory.
• Genetic quality: Betaseed's breeding ensures predictable plant growth and stand uniformity.

In conclusion, BTS 1715 is a workhorse. It won't throw surprises at you in the middle of a hot, humid summer and will deliver a solid yield with excellent sugar content. It is a rational, professional choice for farmers who prioritize consistency over risky experiments.
