Abstract

In the development of new improved cultivars, resistance to rhizomania disease was confirmed in both paternal and maternal parents. To achieve this, 40 single crosses were used as maternal parents and crossed with a commercial pollinator parent resistant to both rhizomania and beet cyst nematode diseases. Following preliminary evaluations, eight hybrids were selected for further study. These selected hybrids were compared for yield in a value for cultivation and use test conducted in 2021 and 2022, using a randomized complete block design across seven locations infected with one or both disease agents. Simultaneously, all hybrids were evaluated for resistance to cyst nematode under controlled greenhouse conditions. Based on these evaluations, two hybrids, SBSI 166 and SBSI 170, were selected and entered an on-farm study as Ziba and Yalda, respectively. The on-farm study revealed that the Ziba and Yalda cultivars achieved average white sugar yields of 11.50 and 11.32 tha-1, respectively. This represented a yield advantage of 6.89%, 10.16%, 16.52%, 16.96%, and 20.32% compared to the control cultivars Brigita, Nika, Asia, Shokoufa, and Dena, which had average white sugar yields of 10.54, 10.17, 9.45, 9.40, and 9.02 tha-1, respectively. Regarding resistance to cyst nematode, the Yalda cultivar exhibited resistance comparable to foreign control cultivars, while the Ziba cultivar showed resistance similar to domestic control cultivars. These diploid monogerm hybrids, resistant to both rhizomania and cyst nematode, are suitable for spring cultivation across various regions of the country.
