MSX 46520 is a high-yield sugar beet hybrid belonging to the NZ diploid type on a Z sterile background. It is characterized by a late maturity period and high sugar content, reaching up to 19%. The root of this hybrid is buried in the soil by 90% and weighs about 700 grams, which facilitates harvesting and ensures high yield. By adhering to agronomic requirements, up to 85 tons of selected sugar beet can be harvested per hectare, making this hybrid promising for cultivation in all regions of the sugar beet-growing zone.
The MSX 46520 hybrid is distinguished by its resistance to major sugar beet diseases. During testing, low infection rates were noted for root rots and Cercospora leaf spot, a moderate level for powdery mildew, and enhanced activity of the sugar beet root weevil. Such disease tolerance ensures crop stability and reduces losses during storage and transport of roots.
For successful cultivation, winter sowing is recommended, with an optimal germination temperature of +10-12°C and for growth and development of +20-22°C. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation in open ground and is used both for sugar production and for feed purposes. High sugar content and high yield make MSX 46520 a profitable choice for agricultural enterprises focused on efficient sugar beet production.
