The BBRO’s three R&D pillars are to enhance Crop Stability, Crop Progression and Crop Recovery to increase yield return for UK sugar beet growers.

Germains at the Demonstration Days
Germains is committed to backing British farming by investing in the research of new seed technologies to maximise UK sugar beet yield. As part of this commitment, we trial our new products in UK trial sites to ensure that they are developed for UK field conditions.
Germains’ Innovation Plot at the 2016 BBRO Open Days
Come and visit Germains’ Innovation Plot at the demonstration days to see the performance of our new seed technologies in the field for yourself. We also invite you to our commercial stand in the trade tent to learn more about the new UK sugar beet seed treatments in our R&D pipeline which will drive improvements to British sugar beet yields. There will also be an opportunity to collect some BASIS and NRoSO points from us.
We look forward to speaking with you at our stands in July!
