About Xbeet® enrich 200
Xbeet® enrich 200 is the new and improved offering from Germains Xbeet® seed treatment range and will be available for the 2021 season. Trialled and tested for the UK climate, enhancements include an extra coating of bio-stimulant, derived from natural plant extracts to help with crop health, accelerate emergence, increase yield and assist the crop to reach the critical twelve-leaf stage and mature plant resistance.
Xbeet® enrich improves yield
Independent trials for the new Xbeet® enrich 200 have been carried out in collaboration with the BBRO and independent trial specialists and have shown an average yield benefit of 1.4% from Xbeet® enrich 200 over Xbeet® enrich 100 during 3 years of trials. The independent verification of the trial results by NIAB have shown the results are significant to the 95% confidence level.
Further commercial scale strip trials in 2018 & 2019 have shown an average of 2.5% increase in yield across three trial sites in the UK. Commercial scale strip trials replicate commercial practice and give an indication of the results growers can expect from farm scale use of a product.
“We are really excited to be bringing our Xbeet® enrich 200 treatment to market. It addresses many of the establishment concerns of UK sugar beet growers. Our trial results have shown a significant yield increase and we look forward to growers seeing the benefits and ultimately the additional income” says Germains EU Commercial Manager, Richard Nicholls.
