Sugar beet of the C 2269 F variety is a single-seed diploid hybrid with high yield and sugar content potential. The plant forms a medium-sized dark green leaf rosette with upright leaves, and the root has an oval-cone shape with characteristic grooves and a white-green color. The root mass varies from 300 to 555 grams, and it is buried in the soil to 2/3 or about 85%, which contributes to good storage and crop preservation. The flesh of the root is white and juicy, with a sugar content of 17–18.1%, which ensures high sugar content of the crop.
The vegetation period of sugar beet C 2269 F is from 140 to 155 days, which classifies the variety as medium-early. It is distinguished by drought resistance, cold resistance, and resistance to a number of diseases, including moderate resistance to root rot, but it is susceptible to powdery mildew and cercosporosis. The culture is demanding in moisture, especially during seed germination and root formation, and it responds positively to liming of soils with optimal acidity pH 6.5–7.5. Sowing is recommended at a depth of 6–7 cm when the soil is warmed to 6–8°C.
To achieve maximum yield, which can exceed 35–45 tons per hectare, optimal plant density should be maintained—85–100 thousand per hectare. The seed sowing rate is from 2 to 10 kg per hectare, with about 10 seeds per 1 m² and 4–5 plants per 1 meter of row length. The variety is recommended for cultivation in various regions with a moderate climate and is suitable for medium harvest times, making it a universal and reliable choice for the sugar industry.
