Dnister

Dnister is a high-yielding semi-sugar beet variety with cylindrical roots, partially located above the soil surface. This variety is distinguished by its high content of dry matter (up to 12-14%) and sugar, making it especially valuable for feeding livestock. The roots have a smooth shape, facilitating both manual and mechanized harvest. The plant is resistant to lodging and diseases, and possesses high storability and transportability, allowing it to retain quality during winter storage.

Dnister belongs to the medium-maturing group with a vegetation period of 105-130 days. It is adaptable to soil composition and drought-tolerant, expanding its cultivation possibilities in various climatic conditions. The plant forms a significant leaf mass that remains fresh and healthy until harvest. Optimal preceding crops for this variety include cucumbers, early potatoes, and cabbage, which should be preceded by organic fertilizers.

Dnister sugar beet is an effective source of vitamins and nutrients for animals, promoting improved health and fertility in cows. Feeding this variety increases milk yield and reduces the need for concentrated feed, lowering ration cost. The sugar contained in the roots stimulates microbial protein synthesis, thereby increasing protein content in milk.
