As sugarbeet growers continue to evolve, so does their need for efficient crop management.

Syngenta is committed to taking this journey with growers by heavily investing in sugarbeet research to produce a robust pipeline of products.

“We continue to adapt our Hilleshög varieties to local performance needs while upholding our high standards for seed quality, plantability and stand establishment,” said Jeff Pomeroy, Syngenta sugarbeet crop portfolio head.

Syngenta complements its seed options with solutions like CruiserMaxx Sugarbeets insecticide/fungicide seed treatment, a combination of separately registered products, Quadris fungicide, Inspire XT fungicide and Sequence herbicide to meet production challenges like Rhizoctonia, Cercospora leafspot and glyphosate-resistant weeds.

“Not only are we delivering tools today, we are keeping an eye to the future with a strong research program that includes a nematicide seed treatment, post-harvest fungicides and enhanced genetic traits,” Pomeroy said. “Syngenta is committed to collaborating with the sugarbeet industry and sugar cooperatives to create even more efficient sugar production.”
