Sugar beet Fighter

The hybrid sugar beet FIGHTER is intended for cultivation on fields with intensive crop rotations and nematode-infested soils. It features balanced performance in yield, sugar content, and juice quality, allowing it to successfully compete with conventional hybrids on non-infested areas. The root mass is approximately 950 grams, with a yield of 101 tonnes per hectare at 18.5% sugar content. Roots are located 85% deep in the soil, facilitating harvesting and preserving yield. The hybrid is resistant to nematodes and exhibits high resistance to major sugar beet diseases, including rhizomania, cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and phytophthora root rot. Recommended plant density at harvest is 90,000–115,000 plants per hectare, with a seeding rate of 1.3 seeding units per hectare. FIGHTER is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, such as the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe regions, and is well adapted to irrigation conditions.
