RK 7

RK 7 — a diploid first-generation sugar beet hybrid developed by the FGBOU 'Pervomayskaya Breeding and Demonstration Station for Sugar Beets'. This variety is intended for cultivation in the North Caucasus region, particularly in Krasnodar Krai, where it demonstrates high yield and sugar content. The average root crop mass is about 536 grams, with sugar content reaching 18-18.4%, ensuring sugar collection at the level of 81 centners per hectare. The hybrid belongs to mid-ripening varieties with a focus on high yield and sugar content.

RK 7 is distinguished by its good productivity, reaching root crop yields of up to 92 tons per hectare under optimal conditions. The recommended sowing rate is 1.4 seeding units per hectare. The hybrid possesses resistance to major sugar beet diseases, including rhizomania, aphanomyces rot, cercosporosis, and powdery mildew, which contributes to a stable harvest and reduced losses during cultivation.

This sugar beet variety is suitable for cultivation in various agro-climatic zones, including the forest-steppe, forest-steppe, and steppe, but shows the greatest effectiveness in the North Caucasus region. RK 7 is recommended for farmers and agrarians seeking high sugar yield at optimal costs for plant protection and crop care.
