Kristella is a medium-maturing hybrid sugar beet, intended for cultivation in regions with unstable climatic conditions. This variety is characterized by high resistance to drought, cold, and a wide range of diseases, ensuring stable yield under various weather conditions. The roots are oval-conical in shape and sink into the soil by approximately 85%, which contributes to their good preservation and quality.
Kristella's leaf rosette is of medium size, dark green, and branched. The hybrid is distinguished by high sugar content in the roots, making it popular both in fresh markets and with processors. Due to its significant sugar content and uniform root quality, the variety is valued for its long storage life, which is an important advantage for agricultural production and industrial processing.
Sugar beet Kristella is a biennial plant, forming an elongated root in the first year with firm white flesh and basal leaves forming a rosette. The entire harvest is utilized during processing: sugar, pulp, molasses, and beet pulp find wide application in various industries. Molasses is used for producing alcohol, glycerin, citric acid, and yeast; beet pulp serves as a valuable fertilizer, while pulp is used as nutritious animal feed.
