Pluto

Plutone — a single-seeded diploid hybrid sugar beet of Belgian selection, intended for cultivation in the forest-steppe zone and other soil-climatic conditions. The vegetation period is 170 days, allowing the hybrid to fully develop and accumulate necessary nutrients. The average root mass varies from 500 to 600 grams, ensuring ease of harvest and transportation.

The Plutone hybrid is characterized by high yield — on average 550-600 centners per hectare, and with proper agronomic practices, yields can reach up to 800 centners per hectare. Sugar content in the roots is at the level of 20-22%, which corresponds to the average sugar content and makes this variety attractive for the sugar industry. It is recommended to harvest roots throughout the entire harvest period to maximize the quality of the crop.

Plutone is resistant to a number of diseases, including rhizomania, cercosporosis, and powdery mildew of sugar beet, significantly reducing the risk of crop loss and reducing the need for intensive chemical protection. The hybrid demonstrates stable performance under various soil-climatic conditions, making it a universal choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality sugar beet yields.
