Yakhil

Yakhil — a diploid hybrid sugar beet of high-yield and high-sugar direction, characterized by high productivity and resistance to main diseases. This hybrid demonstrates root yields up to 92 tons per hectare and sugar content of about 18.3–18.4%, making it attractive for efficient sugar production. The recommended sowing rate is 1.4 seeding units per hectare, and cultivation zones include Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe, indicating its adaptability to various climatic conditions in Ukraine.

The Yakhil hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases such as rhizomania, cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and aphanomyces root rot, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and enhancing production stability. Due to its genetically enhanced sugar content and disease resistance, this variety is suitable for early planting, ensuring reliable development and formation of high-quality roots.

Sugar beet Yakhil features roots with white flesh and light-green leaf rosettes, weighing from 300 to 600 grams. For successful cultivation, optimal conditions must be considered: seed germination temperature is 10–12 °C, and for growth and development — 20–22 °C. The plant is sensitive to frost below -4 °C, so choosing planting dates and agronomic practices plays a crucial role in achieving maximum yield and sugar content.
