What is INITIO EarlyPower?
INITIO EarlyPower Overview
INITIO EarlyPower builds on the success of our EPD 2.0 technology. We have combined two new biological products to partner with EPD 2.0, to improve the early development of plants.
KWS Seed Technology
KWS have partnered with 3 external companies to allow these new technologies to be tailored to the requirements of specifically sugar beet plant growth. These innovative additions aid the plants development for longer into the season than the benefits offered solely of EPD 2.0.
What makes INITIO EarlyPower more advanced than EPD 2.0?
The introduction of INITO provides growers with improved germination and stress tolerance, giving a phenomenal opportunity to improve their beet performance paired with KWS varieties.
Comparative performance of KWS EPD 2.0 and INITIO EarlyPower
Multiple trials have shown INITIO EarlyPower to emerge faster than EPD 2.0. The average period from sowing to 100% emergence was 29 days. To help with getting the best possible yielding crop, sugar beet growth wants to be as quick as possible. As solar radiation increases in the spring and summer months you need a quickly emerging and vigorous plant to intercept as much solar radiation as possible.
NITIO EarlyPower has show an outstanding 2.4% yield increase over EPD 2.0 - This equates to nearly 2t/ha more for a grower currently with 75t/ha*
