CR 7.6.1 X F 10.1 is a sugar beet variety, representing a biennial plant widely used for sugar production. The root is conical, white-green with grooves, weighing from 300 to 450 grams, two-thirds submerged in soil. The flesh is white and juicy, with a sugar content of 17–18%. The plant forms an upright rosette of leaves and has medium frost resistance, high disease resistance, and good drought tolerance, while requiring moisture during seed germination and root growth. The vegetation period is 140–155 days, allowing for a yield of 34 to 45 tons per hectare and above.
For successful cultivation of this sugar beet variety, it is recommended to sow seeds in spring in drained, humus-rich soil rich in organic and mineral substances. Optimal soil acidity is pH 6.5–7.5. Sowing is done at a depth of 4–7 cm at soil temperatures from +6 to +8 °C. The distance between furrows is about 50 cm, and the sowing rate is from 2 to 10 kg of seeds per hectare, corresponding to a plant density of 85–110 thousand plants per hectare. It is important to monitor soil moisture levels, as prolonged drought significantly reduces yield.
Sugar beet variety CR 7.6.1 X F 10.1 not only serves as a source of sugar but is also fully processed without waste. In addition to sugar, pulp, molasses, defecate, and ethanol are obtained from it. Molasses is used in the production of alcohol, glycerin, citric acid, and yeast, defecate is a valuable fertilizer, and pulp is nutritious feed for livestock. Ethanol obtained from beets is used as biofuel, replacing diesel fuel and gasoline, making this variety an important element in the agro-industrial complex and biotechnology.
