Sugar beet variety SX1526 is a warm-loving and heat-tolerant crop, optimally developing at 20-22°C, but capable of effective photosynthesis even at temperatures above 40°C. Seeds germinate within a wide temperature range from +4 to 17°C, with emergence time directly depending on temperature. The plant requires significant moisture, especially during the intensive root growth period in July-August, but due to its well-developed root system capable of absorbing water from depths up to 2.5 meters, sugar beet tolerates drought well. In autumn, the crop can withstand frosts down to -5°C without damaging sugar accumulation. The roots of variety SX1526 have a cylindrical shape, weighing from 170 to 320 grams, with dark burgundy flesh free of rings, indicating high quality and excellent taste. Half-buried in the soil, they facilitate harvesting and make them ideal for processing. The beet has high juice content and good storability, allowing storage of the harvest up to six months without loss of quality. The variety has high yield and sugar potential, resistant to drought, cold, diseases, and bolting. The leaf rosette is medium-sized, dark green, and spreading, while the root is oval-conical with a root depth of about 85%. Recommended for medium harvest timing, making it a versatile and reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions.
