Description
BTS 550 — sugar beet hybrid, intended for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including Central Black Earth, Volga, Ural, and North Caucasus. This mid-late variety is characterized by high adaptability to different soil-climatic conditions, ensuring stable yield and product quality. The root has a wide-conical shape and is fully buried in the soil, which contributes to its protection and ease of harvest.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to root rots, fusarium, and cercospora, significantly reducing yield losses and improving product quality. Over the years of testing, only slight root rot damage and moderate damage from root maggots and powdery mildew were observed, indicating reliable protection against major diseases. High sugar content in roots — from 16.7% to 17.6% — ensures efficient sugar harvesting, reaching 102 centners/ha.
Yield of BTS 550 varies by region and ranges from 570 to 624 centners/ha, with root mass reaching 648–672 grams. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation in Penza Oblast and other regions with similar conditions, making it a versatile choice for sugar beet producers aiming for high-quality yields.
