Sugar beet of the ST 001 M variety is a biennial plant that in the first year of cultivation forms an elongated rootstock with hard white pulp and basal leaves forming a rosette. This rootstock is the main raw material for sugar production, as well as various by-products that find wide application in industry and agriculture.
During sugar beet processing, not only sugar is obtained, but also pulp, molasses, and defectate. Molasses is used for the production of alcohol, glycerin, citric acid, yeast, and organic acids, making it an important component in the chemical and food industries. Pulp serves as nutritious and juicy feed for cattle, and defectate is an indispensable fertilizer for plants, contributing to improved soil fertility.
Moreover, ethanol is obtained from sugar beet, which is used as an alternative fuel capable of replacing diesel fuel and gasoline. Thus, the ST 001 M variety not only provides high-quality raw material for sugar production but also contributes to the development of environmentally friendly technologies and efficient use of all plant components.
