BC 11 X E 9.22 is a hybrid sugar beet variety characterized by rapid growth during the spring period and high resistance to diseases and stress factors. The variety has high yield and marked drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under variable moisture conditions. Special attention is paid to resistance to nematode and rhizomania, where the variety receives high ratings on the resistance scale, which significantly reduces the risk of yield losses.
This variety of sugar beet is a heat-loving and heat-resistant crop; the optimal temperature for growth and development is 20-22°C, however photosynthesis effectively proceeds even at temperatures above 40°C. The plant requires sufficient moisture, especially during the intensive growth of root crops in July-August. Thanks to a well-developed root system capable of absorbing water from a depth of up to 2.5 meters, sugar beet can withstand drought, ensuring yield stability even in complex climatic conditions.
Sugar beet BC 11 X E 9.22 is grown as a biennial plant, forming in the first year an elongated root crop with firm white flesh and a rosette of leaves at the base. All parts of the plant are used without waste: sugar is obtained from the root crops, and by-products—pulp, molasses, and dregs—are widely used in agriculture and industry. Molasses is used for the production of alcohol, glycerin, citric acid, and yeast; dreg serves as a valuable fertilizer, and pulp is a nutritious feed for livestock. In addition, ethanol is obtained from sugar beet, which is used in fuel production, highlighting the economic and ecological significance of this crop.
