The article highlights the increase in cultivation of fodder beets, which has risen by 50% over the past decade due to its environmental benefits and profitability. The seeds and seedlings interprofessional association (SEMAE) and the Association for the Development of Monogerme Fodder Beet (ADBFM) have been conducting trials to evaluate the varieties of fodder beets, with 2021 seeing a return to high yields despite challenging conditions. The 2021 trials resulted in an average yield of over 100 tonnes of roots per hectare, with a diverse range of 24 varieties offered to breeders, each suited to different uses. A new innovation in the field is the activation of seeds, which shows better uniformity and faster germination speed, and is favored by farmers, with 76% of the seeds marketed this year being activated.
