BTS 760

Stable yield even in stress conditions

Working with the Betaseed BTS 760 hybrid, you immediately notice its predictability. This NZ-type (normal sugar content) sugar beet hybrid feels confident in fields where other varieties begin to struggle under disease pressure. The main advantage I have appreciated during operation is its resilience. Rhizomania and powdery mildew, which previously forced us to invest in additional fungicide treatments, are mitigated at the genetic level here.

Field experience: what matters to an agronomist

In terms of performance, BTS 760 consistently delivers high root mass with decent sugar content. For me, as an operator, it is important that the crop keeps its shape: the beet does not develop excessive "root beards," which significantly simplifies harvester operation during lifting. Field losses are minimal because the root sits evenly in the soil and is easily extracted.

• Phytosanitary status: Noticeable reduction in protection costs. Genetic resistance to rhizomania eliminates the need to constantly monitor field hotspots.
• Manageability: The convenient root shape reduces wear and tear on the working parts of harvesting equipment.
• Economics: The hybrid allows you to reach target sugar content levels without extreme fertilization, preserving margins at current fertilizer prices.

In the face of tough competition for tonnage per hectare, Betaseed BTS 760 is an asset you can rely on. The hybrid does not require "extra fuss" and systematically delivers on its potential, ensuring a predictable result on the scales when delivering to the sugar factory.
