PUL 148

Stability and efficiency in every root

For farmers focused on predictable results in intensive agriculture, the sugar beet hybrid POL 148 from the Belgian breeding company Sesvanderhave Nv/Sa serves as a tool for minimizing production risks. This hybrid has established itself as a reliable solution for farms where the balance between high yield and quality raw material indicators is critical.

Key performance indicators

• Sugar content: Consistently maintained in the 18–19% range, making the produce highly liquid for processing plants.
• Genetic potential: The Sesvanderhave Nv/Sa development focuses on maximizing the growing season, ensuring a strong start for the crop.
• Adaptability: The hybrid demonstrates resistance to a range of typical soil and climatic stresses common to sugar beet growing regions.

The main feature of POL 148 is the high uniformity of the crop. This is not just a marketing claim: during mechanized harvesting, the uniformity of the roots significantly reduces losses and simplifies harvester settings. Unlike less selective varieties, this hybrid efficiently converts applied fertilizers into biomass and sugar accumulation rather than excessive foliage.

Who is this choice for? Primarily for farms with well-established plant protection and nutrition technologies that strive to get the most out of every hectare. POL 148 is forgiving of minor deviations in agricultural practices, but reveals its true potential when sowing density and timely weed control are maintained. It is a "workhorse" of European breeding that ensures stable sugar yield per hectare even in seasons with moderate weather fluctuations.
