Climate change and reduced use of plant protection products will increase demand for more resistant and drought-tolerant sugar beet varieties in the future.
For the coming season, we already have the first varieties with high tolerance to virus yellows ready for delivery.
We are expecting to register two or three varieties in Europe in 2023 and more are on their way.
Over the past year, the volume of nematodes in the fields has increased in more and more countries, and we have launched various new nematode-tolerant varieties in Europe.
In the Netherlands, for example, we launched the variety Laser, with good nematode tolerance and great robustness in terms of plant diseases.
The same applies in Spain, where customers welcomed Flixter for fields both with and without nematodes.
In France, we have launched Galion, characterised by its good Cercospora and nematode tolerance.
In the Czech Republic, we successfully launched the nematode-tolerant Vitus, and in the Nordic countries, the nematode-tolerant Nakskov is now available.
