Interactive List 2026
The Recommended Lists (RL) below allow varieties to be filtered to only compare varieties with specific trait claims or time of drilling rather than the whole RL. Multiple traits can be selected and only varieties with all traits selected will be shown
The Interactive table also enables supplementary data from the previous 3 years to be viewed for each variety.
To view the supplementary data for varieties, click the arrow to the left of the variety name.

- Newly listed varieties (Y1/SY1) have results from three years using approximately 2 kgs breeders’ seed. Thereafter commercial seed should be used in RL trials. (See supplementary table).
- 31 trials were drilled and had data collected over the 3 years; 25 of these trials were harvested.
- Yields based on an average plant population of 101,100 plants/ha in these trials. Differences in adjusted tonnes of less than 3.4% should be treated with reserve.
- For the disease data (Rust, Powdery Mildew and Cerc) the values in the 2025 data set are disease infection on a 1-9 scale where 1= high and 9 = low leaf infection. The supplementary years data is % leaf infection in naturally infected trials
- The ratings from normal sowings are applicable for sowing after mid-March in most seasons.
- Differences in establishment of less than 3.5% should be treated with reserve.
- Cercospora ratings should be treated with caution with no available data in 2022.
- Breeders claims are for partial tolerance to some of the yellowing viruses
- BTS = Betaseed, KWS = KWS UK Ltd, LG = Limagrain UK Ltd, STR = Strube Sugar Beet UK Ltd, SV = SESVanderHave UK Ltd, HH = Hilleshög
