CADILLAC is a mid-late hybrid of sugar beet intended for industrial cultivation and home use. The plant is single-stemmed, diploid, based on sterile NZ type, with a vegetative period of about 100-105 days. The roots have an oval shape, smooth surface, and dark red color both outside and inside, with no rings. The average root weight is about 667 grams, which ensures high yield - up to 555 centners per hectare, and sugar content reaches 80 centners per hectare.
The hybrid has the maximum ability to accumulate sugar - sugar content in the roots reaches 14-15%, which makes it particularly valuable for processing and storage. CADILLAC tolerates high temperatures and drought well, which ensures crop stability even in complex climatic conditions. The plant has intermediate resistance to diseases such as rhizoctonia, powdery mildew, and downy mildew, and shows weak infection by cercosporosis.
The leaf rosette of this hybrid is small and vertical, which facilitates cultivation and harvest collection. Thanks to its characteristics, CADILLAC is suitable both for industrial sugar production and for fresh consumption and home cooking. Excellent storage indicators allow maintaining the quality of roots for a long time, which makes this hybrid universal and a profitable choice for farmers and processors.
