Sugar beet of the 916 9YF 35 variety is a biennial plant that, in the first year of cultivation, forms an elongated root with dense white flesh and a basal rosette of leaves. This variety is an important crop for sugar production in temperate climates, as modern sugar beet varieties contain 18 to 20% sugar, which ensures high sugar content and profitability of cultivation.
To successfully cultivate the 916 9YF 35 variety, it is necessary to use quality seed material and choose suitable soil-climatic conditions. Chernozems, podzolic-alkaline, and dark-grey podzolic soils with a pH level from 5.5 to 7.5 are optimal for sugar beet. An important factor is proper plant nutrition, including the application of mineral fertilizers with potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as micro-fertilizers to improve nutrient uptake. Especially intensive nutrient uptake occurs during the period from the 45th to the 125th day of growth, when foliage actively develops.
Fertilizer application should be distributed by stages of vegetation to ensure full nutrition and maximum yield. Sugar beet of the 916 9YF 35 variety is processed without waste: from it, not only sugar is obtained, but also pulp, molasses, and defecat, which makes it an economically viable crop. Such a comprehensive approach to cultivation and nutrition allows achieving a high gross yield and maximum profit from realization.
