Giovanna sugar beet is a classical diploid hybrid with high yield potential and increased sugar content, making it attractive for sugar production. The root is oval-conical in shape and penetrates 85% into the soil, contributing to good storability and quality. The leaf rosette is medium-sized, dark green, and spreading, indicating healthy plant development.
Giovanna exhibits high resistance to various adverse factors, including drought, cold snaps, and several diseases such as phytophthora root rot, cercosporosis, rhizomania, and powdery mildew. This ensures stable yields and reduces the risk of losses during cultivation. The variety has good storability, allowing beet roots to be stored for a long time without quality loss.
Recommended for early to mid-season planting, it is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones of Ukraine, including Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe. The optimal seeding rate is 1.4 seeding units per hectare. Due to its characteristics, Giovanna is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality sugar beet yields.
