The variety is characterized by high yield, reaching 35-45 tons per hectare and more. SUGAR BEET H 46520 is a cold-hardy crop, but it is demanding for moisture, especially during seed germination, as well as during root formation and growth. Despite this, the variety has drought resistance, which makes it adaptive to various climatic conditions. For optimal development, the plant requires soil liming and prefers neutral acidity with a pH level from 6.5 to 7.5. Sowing sugar beet SUGAR BEET H 46520 is recommended at a depth of 6-7 cm when the soil temperature reaches 6-8 °C. The sowing rate is 2-10 kg of seeds per hectare, with about 10 seeds per square meter and 4-5 plants per meter of row length. Before harvest, plant density should be 85-100 thousand per hectare, which ensures optimal conditions for forming a quality harvest.
