The complex influence of natural and climatic factors on adaptive reactions in hybrid combinations of sugar beet

Relevance . Currently, climatic anomalies are observed on the territory of the Russian Federation, including in the Central Chernozem region, to which cultivated plants adapt. The aim of the study is to evaluate the adaptive reactions of hybrid sugar beet combinations based on productivity characteristics to contrasting weather conditions. Methods . Male-sterile (MS) separate-fruited forms of sugar beet were crossed with fertile diploid cross-fruited pollinators (selection of the A.L. Mazlumov VNIISS). The obtained hybrids were evaluated for signs of productivity using standard methods. The signs of productivity meant yield, sugar content and sugar collection. Relevance . Currently, on the territory of the Russian Federation, including in the Central Black Earth Region, there are climatic anomalies to which cultivated plants adapt. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the adaptive responses of sugar beet hybrid combinations to the contrast weather conditions in signs of productivity.
