Delicante Fodder Beet Seed

Premium White-Skinned Fodder Beet | Ideal for Grazing & Sheep

Delicante is a high-performance, white-skinned fodder beet variety that excels in both plant health and livestock preference. White-skinned varieties are traditionally favored for their high palatability and slightly softer root texture, making Delicante the premier choice for farmers who graze their stock in-situ or provide fresh-lifted feed.

Key Performance Features:

• Preferred White-Skinned Root: The smooth white skin isn't just for looks—it typically results in a cleaner lift with lower dirt tare and is exceptionally palatable for all livestock, particularly sheep and young cattle.

• Superior Disease Resistance: Delicante stands out in the field with robust foliage that offers high natural resistance to Rust and Mildew, ensuring the crop remains productive late into the season.

  
  

   

• Optimized for Grazing: Designed with a growth habit that suits in-situ grazing, Delicante allows for high energy intake with minimal wastage.

• High Bolting Tolerance: Bred for stability, this variety shows excellent resistance to bolting, protecting your yield even during unpredictable spring weather.
