MS X 66607 — mid-season diploid hybrid of sugar beet, intended for cultivation in all regions of the beet-growing zone. This hybrid is characterized by high yield and high sugar content, making it an effective choice for sugar production. The root crop forms with a standard placement of the crown above the field surface, which facilitates harvest and improves product quality.
Sugar beet MS X 66607 is a biennial root crop with solid white flesh containing 18–20% sugar. The plant forms a basal rosette of leaves and requires optimal conditions for germination and growth: the temperature for seed germination is +10-12°C, and for plant development — +20-22°C. The hybrid is sensitive to frost and can die at temperatures of -4-5°C, so winter sowing is recommended to increase cultivation efficiency.
In addition to use in the sugar industry, MS X 66607 is also valued as a fodder crop. In 100 kg of root crops, there is a significant amount of feed units and digestible protein, which makes this beet useful for animal husbandry. The foliage of the plant also has high nutritional value, providing additional feed for animals. Thus, MS X 66607 is a versatile and productive sugar beet hybrid with a wide range of applications.
