The results obtained from the field trials conducted in the frame of field-trial network of the Province of Vojvodina (Republic of Serbia) showed that: The varieties with triple tolerance to diseases (Solea, Gazeta and Prestige) achieved marked root yields in fields severely infested with rhizomania and rhizoctonia, as compared to the intolerant varieties; These varieties also had the best technological quality; The triple tolerant varieties had significantly higher granulated sugar yields as compared to the intolerant varieties. Sugar beet varieties with triple tolerance to diseases could enable successful sugar production in the Province of Vojvodina that could be competitive to the most developed countries in EU.
