PUL 148 is a sugar beet variety intended for cultivation in a temperate climate. This crop is an important source of sugar, containing 18-20% sugar in its roots, making it in demand for the sugar industry. Additionally, sugar beet PUL 148 can also be used as a fodder crop: 100 kg of roots provide 25 fodder units and 1.2 kg of digestible protein, while the tops provide 20 fodder units and 2.2 kg of digestible protein, making it useful for livestock farming.
Growing the PUL 148 variety requires quality pre-sowing soil treatment, accurate sowing, and competent agronomic support. Under irrigation conditions, as demonstrated by the experience of the 'Demetra-Agro' estate in the Nikolaev region, the use of drip irrigation and integration with quality seed producers such as 'Sesvanderhave' allow achieving high yields and 100% profitability. The crop can have spring barley as a predecessor, and the use of modern equipment, including seeders and sprayers, contributes to successful cultivation.
A feature of the PUL 148 variety is its resistance to common sugar beet diseases, which reduces the risk of yield losses and increases production stability. Such a comprehensive approach to cultivation, including the correct variety selection, agronomic measures, and effective irrigation, ensures high quality and quantity of the product, making PUL 148 an attractive choice for agricultural enterprises.
