MS H 46123 is a sugar beet, representing an essential sugar-bearing crop of the temperate zone. It is characterized by high productivity, as each root contains a significant amount of sucrose, making it in demand both for sugar production and for feeding animals. In 100 kg of roots, there is about 25 feed units and 1.2 kg of digestible protein, while the foliage provides an additional 20 feed units and 2.2 kg of digestible protein, emphasizing its value as a fodder crop.
MS H 46123 sugar beet seeds can germinate at temperatures from +5°C, although optimal growing conditions are found in the range of 13-15°C. Modern varieties, including this hybrid, contain 17% to 20% sugar, ensuring high sugar content and yield. However, a lack of light negatively affects sugar content and overall plant yield.
Hybrid MS H 46123 is a single-stemmed triploid variety bred by the experimental and selection stations of the Sugar Beet Institute. It demonstrates an average root yield of about 533 centners per hectare and sugar output up to 91.7 centners per hectare. It is recommended for cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Polesie zones, confirming its adaptability and high productivity in these climatic conditions.
