Bangor

High-Yielding, Easy-Lifting Fodder Beet for All Soil Types

Bangor is a premium yellow-fleshed fodder beet variety designed for farmers seeking a significant yield increase over traditional varieties like Kyros and Troya. Engineered for consistency and ease of use, Bangor produces uniform, regular-shaped roots that sit high above the ground. This makes it one of the best fodder beet varieties for mechanical lifting and harvesting across all soil types, from heavy clay to lighter sands.

Key Performance Features:

• Exceptional Yield: Bangor delivers a relative yield of 105% compared to standard control varieties, maximizing your homegrown forage output.

• Medium Dry Matter (DM): Balanced DM content makes it highly palatable for dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep.

• Superior Harvestability: Because the root sits high out of the soil, it carries less dirt tare, resulting in a cleaner feed and easier processing.

• Disease Protection: All seeds come treated with Tachigaren and Force 10 to protect against early-season soil-borne diseases and pests, ensuring strong seedling establishment.

Technical Specifications:

• Sowing Rate: 50,000 seeds per acre (approx. 1 unit).

• Root Colour: Yellow/Orange.

• Sowing Window: Late March to early May (soil temperature dependent).

• Treatment: Tachigaren (Fungicide) & Force 10 (Insecticide).

Why Choose Bangor? If you are looking for a reliable, high-energy livestock feed that reduces harvesting stress, Bangor is the industry-leading choice. Its uniformity and high-growing habit ensure that wastage is minimized during the lifting process.
