ICB 0801 — a single-seed triploid sugar beet hybrid, developed on a sterile base and intended for obtaining high yields with increased sugar content. This hybrid is characterized by resistance to powdery mildew, root rot, black rot, and tolerance to cercospora, ensuring reliable and stable yields even under adverse conditions. According to trial results, the productivity of ICB 0801 in terms of sugar harvest per hectare significantly exceeds the national standard, making it a profitable choice for producers.
Sugar beet ICB 0801 is a biennial root crop of the Chenopodiaceae family, propagated by seeds. The plant is cold-tolerant, light-loving, and moderately demanding of soil fertility. It grows well even on moderately saline soils under proper care, particularly positively responding to the application of semi-rotted manure, while fresh manure may reduce the market quality of the roots. The demand for moisture increases as the plants grow, but excessive moisture before harvest may lead to root diseases and loss of sugar content.
ICB 0801 is characterized by good storability and transportability, facilitating the storage and transportation of the harvest. High cultivation efficiency is achieved with winter planting. Recommended for cultivation in the Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polissia zones, this hybrid is suitable for all regions of the sugar beet-growing zone, ensuring a stable and high-quality sugar beet harvest.
