@CORK Looking for beet trials results from your employer, are they published online or where might I find them?

Thanks for that.Please see attached a summary of the beet varieties available from ourselves this year.
Two new varieties - Alisha & Geronimo.
Alisha looks like a very serious development - massive fresh yield potential while having high Dry matter. It comes from KWS who have a long reputation of breeding good beet varieties.
Youd need a bottom lifted for alisha?Please see attached a summary of the beet varieties available from ourselves this year.

At what percentage of root in the ground would you differentiate for bottom or top lifter?Wouldn’t think so, this year’s trial was harvested by an Armer Salmon
At what percentage of root in the ground would you differentiate for bottom or top lifter?
They usually say %of root in ground and recommended lifter type over hereWe don’t usually approach it that way over here.
Top lifters are used preferably so as to avoid stones. Bottom lifters are used if leaves are too poor for top lifting machine.
All the varieties should be fine for either machine type.
The varieties with a high % of root over the ground are usually the ones the top lifter will struggle with although you’d think it would be the other way around
Exactly. The last thing you want to see with an armer is a great big root sitting on top of the ground.The varieties with a high % of root over the ground are usually the ones the top lifter will struggle with although you’d think it would be the other way around
Exactly. When the roots are that high some of them will even fall over before the harvester goes near them. When the levels start to rot they become really hard to pick with the armerIs this because they are more likely to get knocked out of the ground before the belts grip the leaves?
The plough on the armer should be well able to loosen the deeper rooting beets?
Seed ordered today, split of Enermax and Magnum with a bit of Alisha as a trial first sugar beet since the factory closed! Looking to change harvester this year as well so if anyone knows of a clean single row machine let me know!!Please see attached a summary of the beet varieties available from ourselves this year.
