Abstract. Sugar beet cultivation is an important branch of agriculture, especially in temperate countries, where it serves as the main source of sugar along with cane. Sugar beet plays a key role in the food industry due to its high sugar content, especially sucrose. It is also used in the production of animal feed and biofuels. Fertilizers play an important and irreplaceable role in increasing the yield of sugar beet root crops. The use of fertilizers makes it possible to optimize the mineral nutrition of plants, improve soil quality and increase the resistance of crops to adverse environmental conditions. The purpose of the study was to establish the optimal dose of mineral nutrition in combination with biostimulants for leaf fertilization when growing a hybrid of sugar beet Mustang on leached chernozems of “Rassvet” JSC of Ust-Labinskiy district of Krasnodar Territory. Methods. Field research was conducted in 2023–2024 according to the Methodology of B. A. Dospekhov's field experience [5]. Results. Research has established the optimal plant nutrition option N60P120K60 + “Biostim svekla” + N30, which provides root crop yields of up to 46,1 t/ha in 2023 and sugar harvest of 8,0 t/ha, and in arid conditions of 2024 – 34,1 t/ha and sugar harvest of 6,1 t/ha. However, although additional application provides a slight increase in yield, profitability is higher on the N60P120K60 + “Biostim svekla” variant by 13,9 %. Similar yield data was obtained for the N60P120K60 + “Aminofol plus” + N30 variant: in 2023, the yield was 42,4 t/ha, in 2024 – 32,2 t/ha, and the difference in production profitability was within 11,9 %. Conclusion. Analysis of the efficiency of production of root crops of the Mustang hybrid sugar candle showed that, on average, for 2023–2024, it was responsive to the application of fertilizers and biostimulants for foliar feeding (“Biostim svekla” and “Aminofol plus”) and showed high profitability of production – from 60,8 to 79,3.
