Sugar beet variety S 2471 M is a high-yielding vegetable crop grown primarily for sugar production. This variety is characterized by high sucrose content, making it particularly valuable for the sugar industry. The root crops have an elongated shape and white color, typical for sugar beet, and differ in good yield with proper care and soil preparation. For successful cultivation, measures such as harrowing, loosening, and timely irrigation are required, which contributes to the formation of a rich harvest.
Sugar beet S 2471 M belongs to mid-late maturing varieties, which allows for its use for long-term storage and subsequent processing. The high level of sucrose in the root crops ensures effective sugar production and also contributes to obtaining high-quality pulp after processing. The pulp obtained from this sugar beet variety contains a significant amount of dry matter (20-25%), as well as increased energy and protein content, making it a valuable feed product for cattle.
The pulp is easily absorbed by animals, which increases its nutritional value and effectiveness in the diet. Due to these properties, sugar beet pulp is a sought-after feed, the cost of which depends on the conditions of use and the region. Thus, variety S 2471 M not only provides high-quality raw material for the sugar industry but also contributes to obtaining a useful by-product for livestock farming.
