ENERMAX
- An excellent dual purpose variety
- Smooth, clean white roots
- High dry matter content
- Higher root yield, compared to Magnum
- Ideal for forage or biogas production
- Good disease resistance
An exciting dual purpose variety for both fodder and bio-energy production.
High yielding with a low dirt tare.
Enermax has a clean, white, smooth-skinned root and is shallow rooting, resulting in a cleaner end product particularly important for the bio-fuel market.
It has a higher root yield when compared with the well-known and popular variety Magnum. Official variety testing (Denmark 2010 - 2011), has shown that Enermax can produce 21 tonnes/DM/ha from the root only, with the beet tops adding approximately 5 tonnes DM/ha.
Enermax has the additional benefit of being Rhizomania tolerant and so is suitable for growing in the east of the country where sugarbeet is a widely grown crop, as well as in the west and other areas

DLF has a range of straights and mixtures that support the environment, whether that's through building habitats, improving soil conditions & water infiltration.
Fodder Beet
Fodder Beet is grown as a main root crop, which requires similar husbandry to sugar beet. It can produce substantial yields of high quality fodder and is an excellent supplement to grass silage.
