The best varieties of single-sprout beets

Content

Where do beets come from in Russia? In the 10th century, beets were brought to Russia from Byzantium. The overseas root crop took root in the new land, became food for people and livestock, and a source of sugar. Beetroot has long been perceived by us as a primordial Russian culture. Every gardener in Russia has grown it at least once. It is quite unpretentious, it grows both in the middle lane and in the southern regions, and even for Siberia varieties that ripen in the open field have been bred. Beets are highly regarded for their taste and health benefits.

Growing beets in the open field

Beets are grown both in greenhouses and in the open field, and it is the second method that is more popular in our country. Beets are well stored, so there is no reason to grow them in the cold season, and in the warm season, open ground is quite suitable. Beets are planted either by seeds or seedlings.

Early beet varieties

Early beets ripen in 50–80, sometimes up to 100 days from the moment of germination and reach the table in the middle of summer. A big drawback of early varieties is their low keeping quality; such beets are not left for winter storage. Not everyone likes the taste of early beets, because during the short growing season they do not have time to accumulate as many sugars as late beets. But for consumption in late June - September, early varieties are optimal.

1) Libero

Seeds of the earliest beet Libero

One of the earliest ripening varieties of beets, good taste. Forms a root vegetable quickly, suitable for use on bunches. The fruit is medium-sized, up to 225 g, round. The skin is thin, easy to peel from both raw and boiled fruit. The pulp is dark red, with dark dull circles, tender. Looks beautiful both fresh and cooked, great for implementation. This variety is often chosen by manufacturers of early and bunched products.

Also, borscht is cooked from Libero beets, juices are driven. Summer residents choose this variety for personal consumption in June-July, when there are almost no other root crops. You just need to remember about the obligatory thinning of the beds with roots of this variety.

2) Vinaigrette Jelly

Unlike many early varieties, the beetroot Vinaigrette Marmalade is well stored and gives very large fruits weighing up to 500 g. The skin of the fruit is rough, dull, the pulp is dense, rich red, practically without circles and pith. The fruits are tasty, round or flat-round in shape. The disadvantages of this variety include the fact that the fruits, when they grow by about half, peep out of the ground and the upper part of them often becomes stiff.

3) Cold resistant 19

An early maturing variety, frost-resistant. Ripens in 66-70 days, yields average-sized fruits of 200-250 g. The shape of the fruit is round and slightly flattened. The skin is smooth, dark red. The pulp is very juicy, moderately sweet, pleasant to the taste. Unfortunately, due to its juiciness, it is not stored for a long time.

4) Pablo

Bright red, even rounded fruits with a matte skin of medium thickness grow small, about 200 g. The pulp is tender, pleasant to the taste, without rings, homogeneous.

Mid-season varieties - universal use

Such beets ripen within 80-110 days from sprouting to readiness for harvesting. These varieties already have the best taste and are suitable for winter storage. However, they are recommended to be planted with seedlings, which is difficult for inexperienced gardeners. There is a risk of slightly damaging the root when transferring seedlings to the ground, as a result of which additional roots are formed on it and instead of one beautiful, even root crop, a knot of several heads is formed, ugly and inconvenient for use.

  • The most popular beet varieties include:
  • 1 tbsp. l. freshly squeezed orange juice
  • One-sprout
  • Several shoots usually grow from each beet seed, so immediately after the shoots appear, they are thinned out. At first, you should not be too zealous, because individual shoots may die or develop poorly - they are removed later. A month later, they thin out again, leaving about 6 - 7 cm between the plants. If this is not enough, sometimes at the end of summer they additionally thin out the plantings so that the root crops can build up mass without interfering with each other.
  • One-sprout, heterotic, hybrid, diploid variety. The root crop is oval-cylindrical, yellow-orange in color. Immersion in the ground is 45-50%, the degree of soil pollution is very low. The variety is suitable for manual harvesting and is closest to the Ursus Poly variety. Stores very well. The variety was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition "Polagra 1995" in Poznan.
  • Sowing rate: For multi-germ varieties: 15 - 20 kg / ha.

CENTURION - Beta common var. Centurion

From year to year I plant Cylinder beets in the country. I like it for good yield, rich color and taste.Yesterday I bought seeds for planting and drew attention to other varieties of beets. I wanted to buy something new, but I was afraid to waste time planting and growing a new variety. It’s very interesting what kind of beets you are planting.

Byzantine guest - beets

Considered the best beet variety for storage. Sweet root vegetables sometimes reach a mass of 460 grams. The disadvantage of the variety is that the beets quickly outgrow, so you need to sow the seeds a little later.

Soil preparation and sowing

Why offtopic? Summer residents are people too and they eat what they grow, so the message is in the subject!

And I love raw beets, but I hate boiled beets (I only perceive them in borscht, vinaigrette and other complex dishes where tastes are mixed).

- a traditional, widespread mid-early variety (115 days from germination to harvest). It has rounded roots weighing from 200 to 500 g of intense dark red color. Stores well.

For sowing beets, you should choose well-lit areas; in shading, it forms high tops and small, tasteless root crops. An indicator such as acidity is critical: beets need neutral soil (pH 6 - 7), even a slight increase in acidity slows down the formation of root crops, beets often get sick under such conditions. And alkaline soils provoke rot, therefore, they are also undesirable.

Multi-sprout horosseous, heterotic, polyploid variety, semi-sugar type. Root crop is oval white, shallow root furrow (slight soil contamination). Resistant to flowering, tolerant to diseases: cercospora, jaundice virus. It is characterized by a very high resistance of roots and leaves, very well stored until late spring at temperatures from 0.5 to 4.0 ºС, low losses - up to 2%. Drought tolerant, suitable for weaker soil. Immersion in the soil by 60% allows mechanical harvesting after preliminary cutting of the leaves.

Yesterday, having written out all the varieties that you advised me, I took a walk to the store. Acquired Egyptian and Furor.

Beet care

I prefer the Egyptian flat. She is gentle, sweet and really like her perfect shape. To improve the quality of the beets, it is recommended to water it a couple of times with brine. Is it true that it works? Has anyone tried it?

Incomparable А-463

Marina, and my eldest daughter (an amazing vegetable and fruit eater!), Loves beets in any form (except seeds). In the meantime, I will also take a slice or two of raw beets ... By the way, in my youth I was engaged in athletic gymnastics and consumed freshly squeezed vegetable juices to neutralize free radicals (for those who are in the subject!). So, beet juice takes one of the leading places in the rating!

Oh, and raw - in salads or can you just grate? I love grated carrots, but I haven't tried beets. I boil it out of habit, but raw is healthier ...Egyptian flat

It is possible to determine the acidity of the soil even without laboratory tests. See which weeds are prevalent in the selected area. Horsetail and wild sorrel, ivan-da-marya and plantain warn about high acidity. The appearance of beet tops can also serve as a guideline: on acidic soil, the leaves turn red; with weak acidity, red streaks appear on them. On neutral soil, the plant usually has red petioles and a green leaf blade.Multi-sprout, heterotic, polyploid variety. The root crop is cylindrical, yellow-orange, type Eckendorf yellow. Root crops are very slightly polluted by the soil, immersion in the ground is 40%, high productivity. Very easy for manual cleaning. Plant persistence is good, low tendency to flowering. Suitable for fertile soil. Relatively small immersion in the soil - 40%, allows manual harvesting.

LIZZZA- one of the best varieties of red beets. Its roots are slightly flattened and some of the tastiest.

Svetlana, somewhere I came across information that beet juice is contraindicated for gastritis - or am I confusing something?I usually just gnaw it when I clean and cut it for borscht (in my version of borscht, raw beets are cut into cubes, fried and stewed) 🙂 But there are also raw beetroot salads. For example, here is a very interesting salad of beets, carrots and pears (sorry for the offtopic):

Svetlana, Russia

- mid-season variety (110-128 days) for autumn-winter use and storage. Root crops are flat, with pink-red pulp, weighing from 300 to 500 g.

Marina, Nekrasovskoe

It is useful to introduce wood ash for sowing beets, which not only reduces the acidity level, but also enriches the soil with useful elements. It is advisable to apply organic fertilizers for previous crops; do not overdo it with mineral supplements, as beets actively accumulate nitrates. It is optimal to prepare a site for planting beets in the fall, digging it up and filling it with rotted manure, mature compost or bird droppings, if necessary.

Lisa, Lviv

Multi-sprout, heterotic, polyploid cultivar of the type Ekkendorfskaya krasnaya. The root crop is cylindrical, red. The root crop yield is the highest of all multi-germ varieties. Submersion in the ground 40%, soil pollution is very low. Very easy for manual cleaning. Plant persistence is good, low flowering ability. The variety is suitable for growing in fertile soil.

Marina, Nekrasovskoe

Given the high tolerance to flowering, fodder beets can be grown in colder climates where maize is not recommended. Beets can be grown in type IV and V soil, provided they have a deep arable layer with a permeable, non-acidic base.

Beet seeds germinate at a soil temperature of +10 - +12 ° C and the seedlings can withstand small short-term frosts. But the cold resistance of different varieties is not the same, and this must be taken into account: in varieties that are not resistant to cold, a decrease in temperature can provoke the formation of peduncles.

The newest genetically single-germ variety, the seeds will go on sale in 2011. Heterotic triploid hybrid, red root crop, conical shape. Immersion in the ground 55%, low soil contamination, suitable for mechanical cleaning. Drought tolerant, suitable for growing in weaker soil. Quite resistant to cercospora and flowering.

Marina, Nekrasovskoe

Organic - if possible, 30 - 40 t / ha of manure, or chopped straw in the second year of cultivation. It gives a very good harvest also without organic fertilization, provided that the beets will not be repeated in the crop rotation more than once every 5 years.

And last year, in addition to my family and friends, I planted a new variety of Mono or Mona (I don’t remember exactly), but its peculiarity is that there is no need to pull out and replant extra shoots. There is only one sprout from each seed. It’s interesting - how was this achieved, because all varieties of beets have seeds, as it were, connected several pieces together?
