286/96

Sugar beet 286/96 is a mid-season diploid hybrid oriented towards high yield and sugar content. This hybrid is distinguished by better final plant density and standard placement of the root head above the field surface, which facilitates harvest convenience. Due to its characteristics, 286/96 is suitable for cultivation in all regions of the beet-growing zone, providing stable yield and quality indicators.

The plant forms a powerful taproot system that penetrates the soil to a depth of up to 2-2.5 meters and branches in width by 1-1.2 meters, contributing to efficient use of soil resources and resistance to adverse conditions. The hybrid has high resistance to the main diseases of sugar beet, such as Cercospora, powdery mildew, and root rot, and is not affected by root maggots. These properties make 286/96 a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Polesie, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe.

The sugar content of the hybrid's roots is 18-19%, which corresponds to modern standards for sugar beet and ensures high sugar production efficiency. The plant forms a root with firm white flesh and basal leaves forming a rosette. For successful cultivation, an optimal seed germination temperature of +10-12°C and for growth and development +20-22°C is recommended. High efficiency is achieved with winter sowing, which contributes to early development and increased yield.
