Sugar beet of the Melusine variety is characterized by high sugar content and high root yield, making it attractive for cultivation under various climatic conditions. The roots are oval-conical or conical-round in shape, weighing approximately 850-900 grams, and are located at a depth of 80-85% in the soil. Sugar content varies within the range of 18-19%, ensuring high processing efficiency. The variety is known for its flexibility in harvest timing and good technological properties, facilitating harvesting with minimal losses.
Melusine exhibits good resistance to major sugar beet diseases, including rhizomania, cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and anthracnose, enabling harvest at mid-to-late stages without compromising quality or sugar content. Additionally, the variety is resistant to drought and cold, ensuring stable performance under various weather conditions. The recommended plant density at harvest is 90-115 thousand plants per hectare, with a sowing rate of approximately 1.3 seeding units per hectare.
Sugar beet Melusine is suitable for cultivation in the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe regions, and is well-adapted to irrigated conditions. Due to its combination of high yield, disease resistance, and climatic adaptability, this variety is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality and stable sugar beet harvests.
