Genetic Potential for Sugar Content

The "Plamya" hybrid from SoyuzSemSvekla is the result of dedicated breeding work by the team of V.A. Sukhorukikh, R.V. Berdnikov, and V.P. Oshevnev. The primary engineering challenge addressed by the originators in this hybrid is achieving a high level of sucrose accumulation while maintaining a stable root weight.

Morphological Features and Metrics

The oval-conical shape of the root is deliberate: this geometry minimizes losses during mechanical harvesting, allowing harvesters to efficiently extract the crop with minimal soil contamination. Due to its well-developed root system, the hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions.

• Sugar Concentration: stable readings in the 19–20% range, placing the hybrid in the premium segment for sugar yield per hectare.
• Size Range: large root crops, significantly increasing tonnage per hectare when optimal planting density is maintained.
• Processability: the shape of the root is optimized for modern harvesting machinery requirements, reducing mechanical damage during the lifting process.

The practical value of "Plamya" lies in the balance between biological potential and industrial utility. The originators focused heavily on plant stability during the vegetative stage, allowing agronomists to plan field operations with high precision. For processing facilities, this hybrid is a preferred raw material due to high juice purity and consistently high sucrose concentration, which reduces energy consumption during the diffusion stage.
