Members of the Wyoming Sugar Company co-op can now start planning for 2013 with six Hilleshög brand varieties from Syngenta - Disease tolerance and sugar performance among top traits


Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA
January 25, 2013

Members of the Wyoming Sugar Company co-op can now start planning for 2013 with six Hilleshög® brand varieties from Syngenta, including two new choices. The co-op has released its approved variety list which includes Hilleshög brand varieties that feature robust disease packages, increased yields and improved sugar quality.

Drawn from a genetic portfolio spanning more than 100 years, the approved Hilleshög varieties are specifically tailored to meet the needs of Wyoming Sugar 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 six Hilleshög brand varieties approved by the Wyoming Sugar Company for 2013 feature herbicide tolerance packages and include:

  • New for 2013:
    • 9334RR: Strong Rhizoctonia tolerance, good root aphid tolerance, Cercospora and Aphanomyces tolerance
    • 9341RR: Outstanding sugar quality and sugar per ton, good curly top tolerance, Cercospora tolerance
  • 9036RR: High yields, very good emergence, excellent Fusarium tolerance, Rhizomania and Cercospora tolerance, moderate curly top tolerance
  • 9047RR: Excellent emergence and early vigor, good Rhizomania tolerance, moderate Aphanomyces and curly top tolerance
  • 9120RR: Excellent root aphid tolerance, high Fusarium tolerance, curly top and Cercospora tolerance
  • 9295RR: Outstanding sugar quality, very good root aphid and curly top tolerance, good Fusarium tolerance, moderate Erwinia tolerance

“9036RR, is a high-yielding variety with strong emergence and a well-rounded disease package, including excellent Fusarium tolerance. Another variety, 9120RR, is a good performer with broad disease control 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.
