Sugar beet of the 6 Y_1301 variety is an important sugar-yielding crop for temperate regions with a high sugar content reaching 18-20%. This variety is characterized by a cylindrical root shape with an average weight of about 700 grams and a large size. The root is deeply embedded in the soil by 85%, which contributes to its stability and quality. The root surface is relatively smooth, which facilitates harvesting and reduces soil adhesion.
The plant has a powerful taproot system penetrating a depth of 2-2.5 meters and a medium-sized leaf rosette with a semi-spreading form and dark green leaf color. The vegetative period is up to 120 days, which corresponds to medium maturity dates. The variety is resistant to various adverse factors, including drought, cold, as well as diseases such as cercosporiosis, powdery mildew, and root rot. In addition, it has good storability and resistance to bolting.
6 Y_1301 has universal and waste-free application. All parts of the plant are useful: roots are used in cooking for making borscht and kvass, as well as for technical purposes for sugar and syrup production. In addition, sugar beet serves as a fodder crop, providing a significant amount of feed units and digestible protein both in roots and in foliage, making this variety valuable for agriculture and the food industry.
