The Experimental Scientific Station on Sugar Beet offers customers services for the development and modification for local conditions of strategies and recommendations for the use of betanal herbicides for sugar beet under an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The development of a strategy and recommendations for the use of betal herbicides in a specific field is based on the analysis of the components of the preparations and their mechanisms of action depending on weather conditions. In difficult soil and climatic conditions, protection against weeds should be based on alternating different preparations, where the ratio of soil and leaf components has the maximum effect in specific conditions.

Preparations of the betal group are highly effective in combating a wide range of annual dicotyledonous and some cereal weeds. To expand the action of the betal group, destroy sow thistles, annual and perennial cereal weeds, they are used in tank mixtures with other herbicides. However, it is recommended to check the preparations for compatibility when mixing.

The Republican Unitary Enterprise "Experimental Scientific Station on Sugar Beet" is a leading organization in the field of scientific support for sugar beet production.

At the Station, within the framework of the Program for the Development of Scientific and Practical Centers, design work is being carried out to create a breeding and seed production complex.

The Station has an automatic line for determining the technological qualities of root crops "Venema", equipment for pelleting sugar beet seeds from Germens. A technology for cultivating and harvesting sugar beets has been developed and is being implemented, which allows for a sugar output at the plant of at least 7.5 t / ha with labor costs of up to 0.15 man-hours per 1 centner of root crops. The Station is working on further improving the technology in order to reduce costs and harmful effects on the environment. New forms of fertilizers for sugar beets have been created: complex fertilizers for basic and pre-sowing application. In cooperation with the Kletsk Mechanical Plant, a seeder design has been developed for applying a starting dose of complex fertilizers simultaneously with sowing.

At the station, much attention is paid to work on correcting the mineral nutrition of sugar beets during the growing season.

The main activity of the Experimental Scientific Station is research work on sugar beet growing issues, propaganda and assistance in mastering scientific developments in agricultural production, including:
- creation of sugar beet hybrids using a breeding and seed production complex and with quality control of breeding material at all stages, organization of industrial seed production in regions with favorable natural conditions;
- improvement of sugar beet cultivation technology in order to obtain high yields and quality root crops with minimal labor costs and economically feasible costs of material resources;
- monitoring and analysis of the course of crop formation, control of elements of sugar beet cultivation technology and recommendations for solving emerging issues.

Five promising hybrids have been created and two sugar beet hybrids have been submitted to the State Variety Testing, resistant to leaf and root diseases with a potential yield of 730-780 c/ha and a sugar content of 18%.
