Next generation sugar beet performance
Xbeet enrich 400 is the latest advancement in our Enrich series. It uses beneficial microbes to help enhance germination, emergence, and early growth—especially when conditions are challenging.
By accelerating the establishment of strong, healthy plants, Xbeet enrich 400 gives your sugar beet crop the best possible start to reach its full yield potential.
Proven to boost sugar beet yields by 2%
Specifically developed for UK farmers, Xbeet enrich 400 is scientifically proven-both in independent trials and on-farm – to increase sugar beet yields by 2% compared to the current market leader, Xbeet enrich 300. That’s an extra 1.5 tonnes per hectare for growers achieving 75 t/ha.

Sugar Beet Seed Calculator
With more seed options now available in the UK, choosing the best value is more complicated. While yield is key, seed rate and sugar beet price also matter. This calculator helps growers and advisers estimate potential yields and returns using their own data and UK trial results from Germains. Trials are conducted under UK conditions by ORETO-accredited organisations.
Enter your details into the calculator to see your sugar beet yield potential.
Please note: the calculator offers a guide to potential outcomes. Actual results may vary due to other factors, and trials by other organisations may show different results.

Advancing Sugar Beet Yields in the UK
Jordan Long, Lead Scientist at Germains Seed Technology, discusses ongoing sugar beet field trials across the UK, which test new seed technologies to assess their impact on germination, growth, and yield.
This includes Xbeet enrich 400, the latest seed treatment designed to improve early plant growth and maximise yield under challenging UK conditions.
What are beneficial microbes?
Xbeet enrich 400 builds on proven success with Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) that colonise roots, unlocking vital nutrients like phosphorus and potassium.
This natural synergy boosts plant growth, accelerates canopy development and builds stronger, more resilient crops.
Xbeet enrich 400 vs. the Competition: The Clear Yield Winner
With at least 2% higher yields, the results speak for themselves.
Proven sugar beet yield increase
Over the past three years, small plot trials have demonstrated a consistent 2% increase in adjusted yield compared to plots treated with our industry-leading Xbeet enrich 300.
For the average grower harvesting 75 t/ha, that’s an extra 1.5 tonnes per hectare—a measurable boost in productivity and profit.
