Ariana is a single-seeded diploid hybrid sugar beet on a sterile basis, designed to achieve high yields and high sugar content. The root has a broad-conical shape, fully buried in soil to 85%, which contributes to its good storability and protection against adverse conditions. The leaf rosette is medium-sized, semi-branched, dark green, indicating healthy plant development. The vegetation period is 140-145 days, allowing the hybrid to be successfully grown in various climatic zones, including the Steppe, Forest-Steppe, Polissia, as well as the Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, and Ural regions. Ariana is characterized by stable and high yield, reaching up to 95 tons per hectare, with an average yield over test years of about 67 tons per hectare. The hybrid's potential sugar content reaches 20.7%, and the average sugar content in roots is 18.2%, ensuring high-quality juice and efficient processing at sugar factories. The hybrid has high root technological suitability, facilitating harvesting and subsequent processing. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major sugar beet diseases, such as cercosporosis, leaf spot, root rot, and root rot, and is tolerant to rhizomania. It demonstrates good drought resistance and ecological plasticity, enabling successful cultivation under various climatic conditions. The recommended planting rate is 4-5 plants per linear meter, and the hybrid is suitable for medium harvest periods, making it a versatile and reliable choice for agricultural producers.
