Cercospora Protection + Yield Performance

Since 1856, KWS has been the world's leading developer of sugarbeet performance traits.

KWS now introduces CR+™, a new source of Cercospora tolerance that offers sugarbeet growers protection and performance to ensure productivity.

Hybrids containing this trait offer growers additional tolerance to Cercospora disease while maximizing and securing yield. This trait is licensed to Betaseed and ACH Seeds Crystal brand hybrids, availble for planting in the 2021 growing season

The new trait also offers the possibility to reduce fungicide applications while keeping disease pressure to a minimum.

Superior Cercospora Leaf Spot management.

Side-by-side comparisons demonstrate the true performance difference between CR+™ and traditional hybrids.

Hybrids within the orange lines are the new CR+™ hybrids. Those shown on the left side of the plant have the traditional Cercospora source for disease tolerance.

Using the CR+™ trait means no yield drag in non-disease conditions.

The chart demonstrates the new CR+™ trait as having higher protection and performance when compared with current Cercospora sources.
