Sugar beet RMS 107

Genetic Potential and Productivity

The sugar beet hybrid "RMS 107", developed by the All-Russian Research Institute of Sugar Beet and Sugar named after A.L. Mazlumov, is a diploid hybrid classified as a normal-yield (NE) type. The core value of this selection lies in the precise balance between biomass accumulation and the high quality of the raw material. From a plant physiology perspective, the diploid genome organization ensures consistency in root development under temperate climate conditions.

Technological Indicators and Resistance

The integration of high sugar content—ranging from 19-20%—alongside stable gross harvest yields makes this hybrid an economically sound solution for farms focused on intensive beet cultivation. A crucial trait incorporated by the originator is its enhanced tolerance to Cercospora leaf spot. In the face of modern epiphytotics, this factor is critical for maintaining the foliage canopy: a healthy, photosynthesizing leaf area through the end of the season is the direct foundation for successful sugar accumulation in the root.

• Ploidy type: Diploid (optimal for uniform emergence).
• Productivity direction: Normal-yield (NE), offering a universal balance of mass and sugar.
• Resistance: Genetic defense against Cercospora significantly reduces the necessity for intensive fungicide applications.

A well-developed root system allows for efficient nutrient uptake, which, when combined with proper crop rotation and plant density, guarantees a stable sugar output per hectare.
