Abstract: The cultivation of sugar beet remains highly significant for the economy of the Russian Federation. The use of herbicides during sugar beet cultivation enhances weed control efficiency, minimizes competitive pressure from weeds on the growth and development of crops, improves yield quality, and increases productivity.
Aim. The study is to determine the best method for using herbicide when cultivating the highly productive sugar beet hybrid “Bartavella” on leached chernozem soils of the enterprise JSC “Rassvet”, located in the Ust-Labinsk district of the Krasnodar Territory.
Research methods. Experimental research was conducted between 2023 and 2024 following B.A. Dospekhov’s methodology for field experiments.
Results. Studies have established optimal variants of applying Frontier Optima and Caribu herbicides, ensuring root yields averaging 39.8 t/ha and 38.7 t/ha respectively over 2023-2024, with corresponding sugar extraction rates of 6.8 t/ha and 6.6 t/ha. In terms of economic efficiency, using Frontier Optima provided conditional net income of 82,748 rubles per hectare, while the variant with Caribu yielded 78,527 rubles per hectare.
Conclusion. Analysis of herbicide effectiveness in the agronomic technology of producing sugar beet roots «Bartavella» demonstrated that, on average over 2023-2024, this variety responded positively to all tested herbicides, providing high profitability ranging from 75.8% to 87.4%, compared to only 45.1% in the control variant without herbicides but with double inter-row cultivation.
