ENERMAX

ENERMAX

Beta vulgaris

Fodder beet

Smooth root with very high yield - For forage and biogas - Rhizomania tolerant.

9 % higher yield

Enermax has white root colour and is a variety based on the well-known fodder beet Magnum. The yield of drymatter in the root of Enermax is around 10 % higher compared to Magnum, but yield of top is slightly lower. Enermax is resistant against the disease Rhizomania.

Very smooth root

Enermax has a very smooth root. The consequence is a very low dirt tare and the soil on the root when lifted falls off easily. Enermax is placed relatively high in the ground.

More than 20 ton DM per ha - For forage and for biogas

In trials the yield of drymatter harvested has been well above 20 ton per ha. Furthermore 4-5 ton is obtained in the beet top. Enermax is, due to the combination of high yield and low dirt tare, ideal for forage as well as for biogas production.

  • A large step forward in DM yield
  • Very low dirt tare
  • Clean and easy to handle
  • 19-20 % DM in root
  • Rhizomania tolerant
