The new approach to controlling Virus Yellows
 
MARUSCHA KWS has shown excellent tolerance to BMYV in UK trials over the last three years and can offer growers a new tool as part of an integrated approach to managing Virus Yellows. In addition, MARUSCHA KWS also shows a competitive response to Beet Yellowing Virus (BYV).​
 
Under BMYV infection MARUSCHA KWS shows losses of 4% but still yields over 15t/ha more than the mean of KWS control varieties​
 
Under BYV infection MARUSCHA KWS can show losses of 37% in yield, however it still yields 10t/ha more than the mean of KWS UK commercial varieties​

For best results, MARUSCHA KWS should be drilled from mid-March onwards.
