BORNEO

The sugar beet hybrid BORNEO is a mid-late monopodic diploid hybrid based on sterile NZ type, intended for cultivation in various regions. The plant of medium height is resistant to diseases such as rhizomani, phytose root rot, root miner, and cercosporosis, which ensures crop stability and high product quality. The hybrid is recommended for irrigation, which improves growing conditions and increases yield.

The yield of the BORNEO hybrid varies depending on the growing region. In the Central region, the average yield is about 584.2 centners per hectare, in the Volga-Vyatsky region — 590.2 c/ha, and in the North Caucasus region — 555 c/ha. Maximum yield indicators were achieved at experimental stations in the Tula and Nizhny Novgorod regions, where yields reached 637 and 731 c/ha respectively. The root crop mass is approximately 667 grams, indicating good size and market appearance of the root crops.

The sugar content in the root crops of the BORNEO hybrid is at a high level — from 19.7% to 20.2%, which ensures high sugariness and processing efficiency. The hybrid is also characterized by good storage capacity in cagats, which facilitates storage and crop transportation. Due to its stable characteristics and high yield indicators, BORNEO is a reliable choice for sugar production in various climatic conditions.
