The CAPRA SMART hybrid sugar beet, registered in 2020, is characterized by high yield potential and sugar content. It belongs to the medium to late harvesting period and has a normal yield type NE. The root has an oval-conical shape with 85% of its length buried in the soil, which contributes to its technological suitability and long-term storage capability. The average yield in the Ural region reaches 33.5 tons per hectare, with a sugar content of 18.8% and a sugar harvest of 6.35 tons per hectare.
CAPRA SMART exhibits comprehensive disease resistance as well as high resistance to drought and cold, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. The medium-sized, dark green leaf rosette has a spreading form, which promotes good plant development. The hybrid responds well to irrigation, allowing for increased yield under optimal water supply.
Growing CAPRA SMART is recommended within modern agronomic technologies, taking into account soil and nutrient monitoring, as proven by the experience of the "Kamaz-Agro" farm in Rovno region. This approach ensures effective fertilizer use and soil fertility maintenance, contributing to a stable and high sugar beet yield.
