SC 140 F

Sugar beet SC 140 F is a biennial root crop of the Amaranthaceae family, widely used for sugar production and as a forage crop. The plant forms a root crop with firm white flesh and basal leaves forming a rosette. Modern sugar beet varieties, including SC 140 F, contain 18-20% sugar, ensuring high processing efficiency and obtaining a quality product. Additionally, the beet is rich in forage substances: 100 kg of root crops contain 25 feed units and 1.2 kg of digestible protein, while the foliage provides additional feeding for livestock.

Successful cultivation of sugar beet SC 140 F requires optimal conditions: seed germination temperature is +10-12°C, and for plant growth and development, a temperature of +20-22°C is optimal. Beet is sensitive to frost and may die at temperatures of -4-5°C. The plant requires a significant amount of moisture and light, however, it has good resistance to drought conditions, making it universal for various climatic zones. High resistance to diseases such as cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and root rot promotes a stable harvest and reduced losses.

Sugar beet SC 140 F has good agronomic properties and is suitable for mechanized harvesting thanks to the smooth surface of the root crop. The yield of the variety varies depending on the moisture zone and can reach 600-950 centners per hectare. The plant is grown mainly in open ground, and winter sowing ensures high processing efficiency. Thanks to its characteristics and adaptability, the SC 140 F variety is a reliable choice for growing in various regions with a moderate climate.
