POLL X 46123

POLL X 46123 is a medium-maturing diploid hybrid of sugar beet, designed for cultivation in all regions of the beet-growing zone. This hybrid is distinguished by its high yield and sugar content, as well as better final plant density. The roots form with standard head placement above the field surface, which facilitates harvesting and processing.

Sugar beet is one of the main technical crops, producing carbohydrate-rich roots that serve as a source for sugar production. The sucrose content in the roots of POLL X 46123 ranges from 15% to 20%, which, with a yield of 400–500 centners per hectare, ensures a sugar output of 6 to 10 tons per hectare. In addition to sugar, beet processing yields molasses and pulp—valuable feed additives for cattle and pigs. Molasses is also used in the production of alcohols, organic acids, and yeast, while ethanol derived from sugar beet is used to create alternative fuels.

For successful cultivation of POLL X 46123, it is important to consider optimal germination and growth conditions. Seeds can germinate at temperatures from +5°C, although 13–15°C is considered optimal. Modern varieties, including this hybrid, contain 18–20% sugar, but yield and sugar content may decrease with insufficient lighting. Thus, the correct choice of region and growing conditions contributes to maximum crop yield.
