RMS 78

RMS 78 — a sugar beet hybrid intended for cultivation in various regions, including the Mari El Republic, the North Caucasus, and the Central Volga regions. This medium-late variety is characterized by resistance to Cercospora, ensuring crop stability and reducing losses from diseases. The plant is low-growing, which facilitates care and harvest collection.

RMS 78 root crops have a wide-conical shape and significant mass, varying depending on the cultivation region: in the Mari El Republic, the average root crop mass reaches 904.5 g, while in the North Caucasus and Central Volga regions, it is about 648-672 g. Yield also depends on regional conditions and ranges from 570.3 to 803.5 c/ha, with sugar content in root crops ranging from 16.8% to 19.2%, making this hybrid attractive for sugar production.

Sugar beet RMS 78 is a biennial plant. In the first year, a fleshy root crop develops, used for sugar production. In the second year, flowering stems up to 2 meters high grow from overwintered roots, on which flowers and seeds form. The seeds have an elongated shape and contain necessary nutrients for germination. Thanks to its biological features and high agronomic indicators, the RMS 78 hybrid is an effective choice for the sugar industry.
