Variety traits

Dry matter — sugar beet

Beta vulgaris Sugar Beet Group

The mass of a root crop excluding water, which is a key indicator of technological value and storability. At the stage of technical maturity, modern varieties contain on average 24–26% dry matter.

In the reference 43 varieties crop Sugar beet, where this is mentioned in the description.

By the time of technical maturity, sugar beet consists of approximately 75% water, with the remaining 25% accounting for dry matter. About 75% of this volume is sucrose, while the rest consists of non-sugars, including fiber, cellulose, pectin substances, proteins, amides, and ash elements.

The dry matter content directly determines the sugar yield and the quality of raw materials, as an excess of non-sugars hinders crystallization and increases production losses. The accumulation dynamics of this indicator also serve as an indicator of the completion of the growing season and the physiological maturity of the root crops.

General information about the subject — on the page Dry matter.
