Sugar beet 7 BY 1363 is a biennial plant that in the first year of cultivation forms an elongated root crop with firm white flesh and basal leaves forming a rosette. This root crop is the main raw material for sugar production, as well as various by-products such as pulp, molasses, and defectate. Molasses is used in the production of alcohol, glycerin, citric acid, yeast, and organic acids; defectate serves as a valuable fertilizer, and pulp is used as nutritious feed for livestock. Additionally, ethanol is obtained from sugar beet, which can serve as alternative fuel, replacing diesel fuel.
This variety is distinguished by high yield and sugar content, making it profitable for industrial cultivation. It is characterized by resistance to diseases and bolting, which contributes to obtaining a stable high-quality harvest. For successful cultivation of sugar beet, it is recommended to sow seeds in drained, humus-rich soil rich in organic and mineral substances. The optimal planting depth is about 4 cm, with soil temperature not lower than +6°C, and distance between furrows - 50 cm.
An important condition for obtaining a high yield is soil moisture control: the plant does not require abundant irrigation, but with prolonged drought, yield significantly decreases. The sowing rate is approximately 110 thousand seeds per hectare. Sugar beet 7 BY 1363 has moderate frost hardiness and high resistance to diseases, allowing it to be grown in various climatic conditions with minimal risk of loss.
