Sugar beet variety 9YF 1588 is a biennial crop grown primarily for sugar production. In the first year, it forms an elongated root with firm white flesh and basal leaves forming a rosette. This variety is characterized by medium frost resistance and high disease resistance, contributing to stable yields. For planting, well-drained, humus-rich soils rich in organic and mineral substances at a soil temperature of not less than +6°C are recommended. The sowing rate is about 110,000 seeds per hectare at a planting depth of 4 cm and a row spacing of 50 cm. Moderation in irrigation is required; prolonged drought significantly reduces yield.
The yield of sugar beet variety 9YF 1588 can reach around 34-42 tons per hectare with a sugar content of about 19%. After harvesting, the roots are processed at sugar mills where sugar and various by-products are extracted from the beet. All parts of the plant are used without waste: molasses is used in the production of alcohol, glycerin, citric acid, and yeast; pulp serves as nutritious feed for livestock, and dregs are a valuable fertilizer for crops.
Thus, sugar beet 9YF 1588 is an effective and versatile agricultural crop, ensuring high yield and a wide range of processing products. Its cultivation requires adherence to agricultural norms, including soil selection, proper planting, and moisture control, which allows obtaining a quality harvest and maximum production return.
