Variety description

10 August 2026

The sugar beet variety Toro (identification number ZR 556) belongs to older breeding achievements. The variety is practically absent from modern commercial seed company catalogs, as it has been replaced by newer hybrids.

In scientific publications, this genotype is used in laboratory experiments to assess seed germination and plant adaptation to stress conditions, including soil salinity and the effect of growth stimulants.
