Members of The Western Sugar Cooperative’s northern region can now start planning for 2013 with two Hilleshög brand varieties from Syngenta - Disease tolerance and sugar performance among top traits


Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA

Members of The Western Sugar Cooperative’s northern region can now start planning for 2013 with two Hilleshög® brand varieties from Syngenta. The sugarbeet cooperative has released its approved variety list which includes Hilleshög brand varieties that feature robust disease packages and improved sugar quality.

Drawn from a genetic portfolio spanning more than 100 years, the approved varieties are specifically tailored to meet the needs of The Western Sugar Cooperative’s northern growers and reflect the commitment of Syngenta providing top performing products to the sugarbeet market.

“In the past year, we have greatly expanded our breeding capacity in the U.S. The more volume our breeders begin with, the more winners come out of the pipeline.” explained Rebecca Larson, head of sugarbeet product evaluation at Syngenta. “We have the best Rhizoctonia tolerance globally and the most extensive disease testing of any sugarbeet seed company in the U.S.”

The two Hilleshög brand varieties approved for The Western Sugar Cooperative’s northern growers for 2013 feature herbicide tolerance packages and include:

  • 9036RR: Good Fusarium tolerance, moderate curly top tolerance, Cercospora tolerance, excellent supply for 2013
  • 9120RR: Excellent root aphid tolerance, good curly top and Fusarium tolerance, moderate Erwinia tolerance, Cercospora tolerance, offered with CruiserMaxx® Sugarbeets insecticide/fungicide seed treatment

“9036RR showed good emergence and produced excellent sugar yield in trials. Another one, 9120RR, is a good performing variety with broad disease tolerance and excellent root aphid tolerance,” said Tyler Ring, Product Manager, Diversified Field Crops at Syngenta.

Adding CruiserMaxx® Sugarbeets insecticide/fungicide seed treatment combination of separately registered products to Hilleshög brand sugarbeet seeds will provide growers with superior early-season protection against both insects and diseases like Rhizoctonia and Pythium. CruiserMaxx Sugarbeets seed treatment complements breeding efforts at Syngenta and enhances vigor, improves stand establishment and increases yield potential by protecting the sugarbeet plant as the seed germinates and develops.

To order Syngenta sugarbeet products, contact your local Hilleshög sugarbeet sales agent or a Syngenta representative.
