The Gheizer sugar beet hybrid represents a single-seeded diploid hybrid on a sterile N-type base, intended for cultivation in the Volga-Vyatka region. The plant is mid-season with a vegetation period of 150-160 days, ensuring optimal harvesting times and high productivity. The root crop has a wide-conical shape of medium length, buried in the soil about three-quarters deep, which facilitates easy extraction and reduces contamination during harvesting.
Gheizer is distinguished by high resistance to major sugar beet diseases, including ramularia leaf spot, root rots, powdery mildew, and Cercospora leaf spot, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits high drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for regions with variable climatic conditions. The leaf rosette is semi-erect, promoting good plant development and increased yield.
The hybrid yields up to 80 tons per hectare, with sugar content in root crops ranging from 18.5% to 19.9%, and sugar recovery reaching up to 14.8 tons per hectare. High juice purity and excellent storability make Gheizer technologically advanced and economically advantageous for processing. Due to the combination of high productivity, disease and drought resistance, and ease of harvesting, this hybrid is an effective solution for the sugar industry.
