Pests and diseases

To get the maximal yield out of your crop, your sugar beet seed needs to be treated with the utter most care, because an optimal protection of your crop is of the highest priority. One of the biggest threats to your sugar beet field are diseases.

Innovation Centre

Our sugar beet seeds are grown worldwide. Climate patterns, soil types and diseases widely vary between the different countries and our varieties need to be tailored to these conditions. At our Innovation Centre, we can analyse and recreate all these conditions in the smallest detail and offer tailor-made solutions.

Diag Centre

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 Diag Centre, where our experts identify the pathogen or pest involved.

CONVISO® SMART

The ALS technology is an effective alternative to weed control in sugar beet and an important development in sugar beet production.

Bioethanol

Sugar beet is a genuine source of energy, and, as an innovative global player, SESVanderHave is also a pioneer in research into the role of sugar beet in the production of bioethanol.

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.

Storability

It often takes a while before lifted beets can be taken to the sugar plant. It is therefore vital that the quality of the beets is maintained as they wait in the beet pile.

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.
