Sugar beet of the variety 7 T_1113 is a high-yielding diploid single-seed hybrid intended for sugar and molasses production. The root crop has a cylinder-cone shape with a smooth surface, which facilitates harvesting and reduces soil sticking. The average weight of the root crop is about 700 grams, and the vegetative period lasts up to 120 days, which corresponds to average maturity periods. The plant is characterized by high sugar content—about 17.2%—and yield up to 533 centners per hectare, making it profitable for industrial cultivation.
The plant is resistant to various unfavorable conditions, including heat and cold, and possesses stability against diseases such as cercospora, powdery mildew, and root rot. The leaf rosette is semi-spreading, with leaf blades of medium size and moderately wavy edges. The root system is taproot, penetrating the soil to a depth of 2-2.5 meters, which contributes to good nutrition and drought resistance.
Sugar beet 7 T_1113 is versatile in application: it is used not only for sugar and molasses production but also in cooking for preparing borscht and kvass, as well as as a feed crop without waste, since all parts of the plant are useful. Sowing is recommended in April at a depth of 2-3 cm with a row spacing of 20x50 cm, and harvesting should be carried out from July to September. Such a complex of characteristics makes this variety attractive for farmers seeking high-quality and economically profitable crops.
