Sugar beet variety CAVOS is characterized by high yield potential and sugar content. The plant forms a medium-sized, spreading rosette with dark green leaves. The root is oval-conical and penetrates the soil to approximately 85%. This variety is resistant to drought, cold, various diseases, and bolting, and has good storability, making it suitable for medium-term harvests.
The crop is heat-loving and drought-tolerant, with an optimal growth temperature of 20-22°C, although photosynthesis occurs efficiently even at temperatures above 40°C. Sugar beet requires adequate moisture, especially during the intensive root growth period in July-August. Due to its well-developed root system capable of absorbing water from depths up to 2.5 meters, the plant tolerates drought well. Seeds germinate over a wide temperature range from +4 to 17°C, with germination time depending on temperature. In autumn, sugar beet withstands frosts down to -5°C, but lower temperatures may negatively affect sugar accumulation.
To achieve high yields and maximum sugar content, it is important to use high-quality seeds adapted to local growing conditions. The soil should be fertile and rich in necessary nutrients. The plant requires proper fertilization, including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and micronutrients, which promotes full development and increases the productivity of the CAVOS variety.
