June 2024 Strube press release
In just a few months time sugar beet growers will be planning their seed order for 2025. Strube will offer Morgan, Stewart and Button. These varieties are in their third year of commercial use and deliver highly reliable yield performance. All are proven to deliver stable and consistently high output.
For growers who experience or suspect Beet Cyst Nematode (BCN), Button offers tolerance to protect against yield loss, combined with excellent establishment.
ST Trent and ST Tweed are new for 2025, offering competitive performance with low bolting. ST Tweed offers comparable yield to Morgan with lower disease expression for rust, powdery mildew and cercospora; so we expect this variety to be highly reliable and stable in its ‘real world’ performance - even more so over a long growing season where a late harvest date is planned.
For the steadily growing UK and Irish fodder beet and energy beet markets, Strube offers Clemens, Degas and Gahan that are leaders in high fresh and dry matter yield; in direct response to excellent field establishment and canopy health characteristics. These varieties have proven themselves to be consistently reliable, offering growers excellent feed value.
For all ‘beet markets Strube is renowned for delivering consistently high performing varieties from traditional breeding techniques, combined with excellence in seed quality.
Strube: Breeding Progress Together.
