Gunnar

Gunnar is a single-stem diploid sugar beet hybrid on a sterile N-type background, intended for cultivation in the North Caucasus region. This medium-maturity variety is distinguished by high root yield, averaging 498 centners per hectare. The mass of one root is about 581 grams, and the sugar content reaches 17.8%, ensuring sugar collection at a level of 87.1 centners per hectare.

One of the key features of the Gunnar hybrid is its high resistance to major sugar beet diseases, such as Cercosporosis and powdery mildew. Over the years of field trials, the variety showed weak Cercosporosis infection, which significantly reduces crop losses and increases production stability. Additionally, the hybrid has increased resistance to rhizomania, making it a reliable choice for farmers seeking to minimize risks during cultivation.

Gunnar is distinguished by excellent technological properties, which ensure maximum sugar yield and high economic efficiency for both agricultural producers and sugar factories. Due to the combination of high yield, disease resistance, and quality raw material indicators, this hybrid is a profitable and promising solution for sugar beet production in the corresponding region.
