Olzhich

Beet sugar variety Oльжич is characterized by high yield potential and sugar content, making it a sought-after crop for sugar production. The root has an oval-conical shape with root depth in the soil of about 85%, which contributes to good protection against adverse conditions. The leaf rosette is of medium size, dark green in color, and spreading in shape, ensuring effective photosynthesis and plant growth. The variety shows resistance to drought, cold, various diseases, and bolting, as well as good storability, allowing the harvest to be stored for a long time without quality loss. Harvesting is recommended in medium terms, which is optimal for most climatic conditions. Sugar beet Oльжич is a thermophilic and heat-tolerant crop, with an optimal temperature range for growth and development of 20-22°C, although photosynthesis is effective even at temperatures above 40°C. The plant requires adequate moisture, especially during the intensive root growth period in July-August. Thanks to its well-developed root system, capable of absorbing water from depths up to 2.5 meters, the variety tolerates drought well. Water deficiency may lead to increased nitrogen content in roots, negatively affecting product quality. Sugar beet seeds germinate over a wide temperature range from +4 to 17°C, with germination time depending on soil temperature and varying from 10 to 15 days. Variety Oльжич shows high responsiveness to agronomic practices, allowing for stable and high yields with proper care. The root has a yellow color and cylindrical shape, facilitating manual harvest. During the pre-harvest period, sugar beet can withstand frost down to -5°C without damage to sugar accumulation, though lower temperatures may negatively affect root quality. All these characteristics make variety Oльжич a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions to obtain high-quality, high-yield raw material for the sugar industry.
