Sugar beet Hamilton

Hamilton® sugar beet is a highly yielding diploid hybrid designed for cultivation under various climatic conditions. This variety features medium plant height and oval or broadly conical roots with an immersion depth of no more than 80%. The vegetative period is approximately 160 days, allowing the hybrid to be used for early and mid-season harvests. Root mass reaches about 665 grams, contributing to high productivity during harvest.

The Hamilton® hybrid boasts high resistance to rhizomania and complex tolerance to leaf diseases, while roots are only weakly affected by diseases, significantly reducing yield losses and improving product quality. The variety is characterized by high juice purity and low levels of invertible sugars, ensuring high sugar yields per hectare. In the North Caucasus region, average root yields reach 619 centners per hectare, with sugar content at around 16.8% and a sugar collection of 107 centners per hectare.

For successful cultivation of the Hamilton® variety, it is important to adhere to correct sowing times, ensure adequate irrigation, and apply appropriate fertilizers. Regular plant care, including leaf pruning and disease control, promotes the maintenance of crop health and maximum yield. Due to its characteristics and disease resistance, this hybrid is a promising choice for farmers seeking high-quality sugar beet yields.
