Sugar beet variety SN741 is a heat-loving and heat-tolerant crop, with an optimal temperature range for growth and development of 20-22°C. Photosynthetic activity is maintained even at temperatures above 40°C. Sugar beet seeds germinate over a wide temperature range from +4 to 17°C, but the time to emergence depends directly on temperature and can vary from 10 to 15 days. Thanks to its well-developed root system, capable of absorbing water from depths of about 2.5 meters, this variety shows high drought resistance and can tolerate water deficiency, especially during the intensive root growth period in July-August. The sugar beet root of variety SN741 has an oval-conical shape and penetrates the soil to about 85%. The leaf rosette is of medium size, spreading in form and dark green in color. The variety is characterized by high resistance to drought, cold, various diseases, and bolting, ensuring good storability of the product. In the pre-harvest period in autumn, the crop can withstand frosts down to -5°C without damage to sugar accumulation, although lower temperatures may negatively affect harvest quality. Sugar beet SN741 has high yield potential and sugar content, making it attractive for cultivation under various climatic conditions. It is recommended for medium harvest timing, allowing optimal use of agronomic practices and ensuring a stable harvest of quality raw material. Due to its characteristics, this variety is a reliable choice for producers aiming to obtain a high-quality sugar beet harvest.
