HIGHLAND

HIGHLAND — diploid sugar beet hybrid designed for high yields with high sugar content. This hybrid is characterized by high root yield, reaching up to 92 tons per hectare, and sugar content of about 18.4%. The roots have an oval-conical shape and are approximately 85% buried in the soil, which promotes good development and quality. The leaf rosette is of medium size, dark green, and spreading, ensuring optimal photosynthetic coverage.

Hybrid HIGHLAND exhibits high resistance to major sugar beet diseases, including rhizomania, cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and anthracnose, significantly reducing yield losses and improving product quality. Additionally, the variety is resistant to drought and cold, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. Thanks to good storability of the roots, the harvest can be stored for a long time without quality loss.

Recommended sowing rate is 1.4 seeding units per hectare. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation in agroclimatic zones such as Polесье, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe. Sowing is medium-term, and harvesting takes place in autumn, allowing optimal use of seasonal conditions for maximum productivity.
