ICB 0902

The hybrid sugar beet ICB 0902 is a high-yielding variety of the normal-sugar type with early maturity. The plant forms moderately wide, light-green leaves arranged on long vertical petioles, which promotes efficient photosynthesis and good air circulation between rows. The root has a conical or oval-conical shape and is buried in the soil approximately 85%, providing protection and facilitating quality harvesting. The small root beard easily detaches during digging, leaving the root practically clean, which is important for subsequent processing.

The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major pathogens, including rhizomania, cercospora, powdery mildew, and root rot. It also shows resistance to drought and cold, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. During vegetation, it is recommended to monitor for pests and apply plant protection measures if necessary. When stored in heaps, the hybrid demonstrates good storability and is practically immune to rot.

ICB 0902 is suitable for cultivation in the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe zones and is recommended for medium harvest periods. The plant's root system is taprooted, penetrating the soil to a depth of 2-2.5 meters and branching out to a width of 1-1.2 meters, which contributes to good nutrition and plant stability. The hybrid's sugar content is high, reaching 18-19%, ensuring high-quality juice and efficient processing.
