Sugar Beet Information
High yield is our standard. Topping the RL in 2009 with Carissima and Mandella our breeding programme continues to give UK growers high yields and a profitable future.
New for KWS UK and topping the 2011 NIAB Recommended List is Rosalinda KWS, a very high yielding rhizomania resistant variety. Rosalinda KWS is a strong all rounder with the highest disease combination of all varieties, early sown bolters below the mean of the control varieties and the highest equal establishment. KWS UK is also celebrating the release of its second beet cyst nematode (BCN) tolerant variety Annouschka KWS. Annouschka KWS also has Double Protection meaning that it is rhizomania resistant as well as being BCN tolerant. In addition to these and complementing its range of varieties available to growers, KWS UK can also offer the top yielding rhizomania varieties Carissima and Sophia and popular conventional variety Mandella.
