Sugar beet variety 4 BY 1241 is a biennial root crop of the Amaranthaceae family, intended for industrial processing and sugar production. The plant forms a large root with firm white flesh and basal leaves forming a rosette. Modern sugar beet varieties, including 4 BY 1241, contain 18-20% sugar, making them valuable raw material for the sugar industry and suitable for use as a fodder crop.
Growing sugar beet requires adherence to certain agro-technical conditions. The optimum temperature for seed germination is +10-12°C, and for plant growth and development - +20-22°C. Beet is sensitive to frost and may die at -4-5°C, therefore autumn sowing is considered an effective processing method. Modern fertilizers, plant protection products, and technical means are used during cultivation, which contributes to increasing yield and sugar content of roots.
According to standard GOST 17421-82, sugar beet variety 4 BY 1241 must meet technical requirements regarding the physical condition of roots, excluding damaged, sun-dried, and rotten specimens. The standard also regulates acceptance rules and analysis methods of the product, ensuring high quality of raw material for processing. Such an approach guarantees obtaining product meeting industrial requirements and contributing to efficient sugar production.
