LIVAGO

Stable yields in challenging environments

The sugar beet hybrid "Zhivago" from the German breeding company Strube is the choice for agronomists who prioritize reliability and crop protection. Amid today's climatic challenges, where disease pressure is becoming increasingly aggressive, this hybrid demonstrates impressive resilience against a range of pathogens, including cercospora and powdery mildew.

Key Hybrid Advantages

• High Phytosanitary Resistance: Genetic protection against root rot and black leg significantly reduces the risk of stand density loss during early development stages.
• Root Characteristics: Large root size combined with a high sugar content (17–18%) ensures an optimal yield of finished product per hectare.
• German Breeding: Strube focuses on an intensive development model, allowing Zhivago to utilize fertilizers and moisture with maximum efficiency.

If your farming operations struggle with fungal disease outbreaks during the growing season, Zhivago provides the precision tools needed to minimize expenditure on fungicide treatments. This hybrid is ideal for regions with moderate to intensive farming, where not only the total harvest is critical, but also product purity and its processing quality for sugar factories.

With Zhivago, you get predictable results: large, uniform roots that are easy to harvest with minimal mechanical loss. It is a balanced solution for those looking for proven German genetics and consistent performance without unnecessary experimentation.
