Primed seeds

The vast majority of SESVanderHave sugar beet seeds are primed seeds. Priming means that the seeds are ‘activated’ to ensure faster and more uniform field germination.

Tropical beet

Tropical beets are extra resistant to extreme conditions such as drought, temperature, heavy rainfall and exotic diseases. In order to develop a better response to such extreme conditions, SESVanderHave has invested for many years in various test fields in India.

Bioethanol

SESVanderHave Innovation Center (SVIC)

Farmers in more than fifty countries grow our seeds. This geographical distribution has an influence on our sugar beet varieties. Among other things, the climate patterns, soil types and diseases widely vary between the different countries. At the SVIC, we can analyse all these factors in the minutest detail and offer tailor-made solutions.

SV Diag Center

SV Diag is a special diagnostics department at SESVanderHave. Whenever a grower has problems with a plot, and notifies their local commercial representative, a sample is sent to the SV Diag Center, where our experts set about identifying the pathogen or pest involved.
