Choosing the best varieties of beets

Beets can range in color from raspberry to deep purple. It is believed that the most useful and tasty fruits are intense color without pronounced light rings. It should be noted that such a statement can hardly be called a serious delusion, since

How to grow delicious beets?

It should be noted that the color and taste of root crops depends not only on the variety, but also on the conditions of "life" and planting care. In order for the roots to be tasty and have a bright, beautiful color, the gardener needs to remember several important rules.

1. At elevated temperatures or after prolonged drought, the intensity of the color of the fruit decreases, and white fibrous rings appear on the cuts. In addition, the beet pulp becomes rough and tasteless.
2. Excess moisture is no less harmful to plantings than its prolonged absence. In this case, the root vegetables become excessively large, acquire a watery taste, and voids form inside, which makes the beets unsuitable for storage.

   Recommendations for watering beets

3. Beets should not be planted immediately after applying organic fertilizers to the soil, otherwise the fruits will taste bitter.
4. Do not shade the plantings too much, as this reduces the content of sugar and dry matter in the pulp, on which the taste of beets depends.

Why beets are bitter and how to prevent it

With proper and timely care, any variety of beets will provide the gardener and his family with healthy roots, from which many delicious dishes can be prepared.

Beets are a very healthy root vegetable. They use it in various fields. For example, some are used for cooking, others for feeding animals, and still others for sugar production. The assortment is wide enough today. And often novice summer residents have problems regarding the choice of a certain variety of this vegetable. The article will tell you which varieties of beets are the best.

Varieties and best varieties of beets

Before considering the best varieties of beets, it is worth understanding what types of this red vegetable exist. This will make it much easier to make the right decision and get the perfect seed variety for planting.

So, the following types of beets are distinguished:

• Canteen. Combines a huge number of different varieties. It is planted for home use, as well as for sale. Outwardly, the root crop is characterized by a rather large size. Coloring is different: from pale pink to maroon. In this subspecies, the pulp is always firm and juicy. Free from villi and veins. The taste is pleasant, sweet. Here are the best varieties of table beets: Bravo, Bona, Spring salad, Ploskaya Gribovskaya and Leningradskaya rounded.

Many summer residents buy and plant such beet seeds: the best varieties of fodder vegetables are presented by Arnim Krivenskaya, Ekkendor yellow and Vorriak. Of course, this is not a complete list. There are many more varieties of vegetables. Here were presented the best varieties of fodder beets, which are especially popular with domestic farmers.
• Sugar. The fruit is white. It has a conical elongated shape. The use of sugar beet for sugar production is justified by the fact that the vegetable contains more than 23% of the required component. The most common varieties at the moment are Larka, Bona, Betroit and La Boheme.
• Leafy. Got quite widespread. And all thanks to the fact that beets contain much more nutrients than other types of this fruit. The color scheme is different. Leaves also come in different colors. The stems of the plant are more often yellow, burgundy, white, orange or pink. In terms of taste, beetroot is very similar to spinach. Popular varieties include Lucullus, Rhubarb Chard, White Silver, Pink Passion and Bright Lights.

Which variety for an open area to choose?

It is a pleasure to grow beets in greenhouse conditions. However, not all farmers can boast of having a greenhouse.We have to plant seeds on an open land plot. Here it must be borne in mind that there are different varieties of beets for open ground, which, in turn, are combined into groups depending on the ripening period of the tubers.

Long-lasting beet varieties

When planning to plant beets on a land plot, many summer residents are interested in which varieties are better stored in winter and which ones deteriorate quickly. Here, much is determined by the period during which the root crop ripens. Therefore, it makes sense to consider in more detail the classification of a vegetable by ripening time.

Based on early maturity, all beet varieties are divided into the following groups:

1. Early ripe. The crop is usually harvested after a couple of months after the first shoots appear. Several factors influence the ripening process. For example, weather conditions, regular irrigation, loosening, bait with useful substances. Egyptian flat, Red ball, Libero - these are the best varieties of beets for planting in an open summer cottage in order to get an early and high-quality harvest. The rapid achievement of the state of ripeness is, perhaps, the main feature and the main advantage of the above varieties. However, they also have some disadvantages. For example, they contain little sugar, the size of the root crops is small, the shelf life of the harvested beets does not exceed 2 months.

2. Mid-season. Root crops ripen in 110 days. They have higher taste qualities. Their taste is richer than that of the earlier types. The harvested crop is not afraid of long-term storage. Therefore, mid-season beet varieties for storage for the winter will be very useful for those who like to stock up on vegetables.
   Striking representatives of the group are the varieties Detroit, Incomparable A463 and Bordeaux. As a rule, these varieties are planted by diving seedlings. All mid-season beets are considered insect and disease resistant. This is their distinctive feature and advantage.

3. Late ripening. The growing season for this group of vegetables is the longest. Is 135-140 days. Farmers most often prefer such species as Renova, Cylindra and One-sprout. These grades are ideal for storage. In addition, these representatives are recognized as the most delicious. They are high in nutrients. An especially good variety of Odnoroskovaya beet, which has a high yield and large maroon fruits. Each copy weighs 60 grams. The pulp is juicy and tender. Ripening occurs in 130 days. Late-ripening beet varieties are much more suitable for winter storage than mid-ripening ones. On average, the harvested crop can be stored in the cellar or on the balcony for up to 7 months.

Harvest varieties of culture

In addition to the timing of ripening, it is worth paying attention to the yield when choosing a variety of seeds for planting. When thinking about which variety of beets is best to plant in order to get a rich and high-quality harvest, it makes sense to consider the following options:

• Cylinder. Yields from 7 to 10 kilograms of root crops.
• Renova. On average, 7-9 kilograms.
• Egyptian flat. The yield of this variety ranges from 5 to 8.3 kilograms.
• Bordeaux. The plant brings about 4-8 kilograms of beets.
• Cold resistant. Its yield is 4-7 kilograms.
• Detroit. Average indicators are 3.5-7 kilograms.
• The incomparable A463. Having planted this crop, the farmer will receive from 3 to 7 kilograms of fruit.
• Bona. The yield ranges from 5.5 to 6.8 kilograms.
• Red ball. Yields 3-6 kilograms of root crops.
• Bohemia. Its fruiting properties are the lowest. This variety yields about 4.8 kilograms of beets.

Although yielding varieties of red beets are distinguished by their excellent fruiting ability, they still require the creation of certain conditions, competent care.

Without this, the yield can be significantly reduced. Beets prefer fertile sandy loam soil. Top dressing with ash and potassium is useful.You should also regularly loosen the soil between the rows, unload seedlings and remove weeds. Watering is also important. Irrigation should be moderate. You cannot pour the sprouts. It is better to monitor the condition of the soil and carry out the irrigation procedure when necessary. To obtain a bountiful harvest, experts recommend planting seeds in a substrate in which pumpkin, zucchini, potatoes, onions or cucumbers previously grew.

Varieties without rings on the pulp

Beets usually range in color from raspberry to deep purple. Most varieties have pronounced light rings, which are visible when the root crop is cut. However, options without rings are much more appreciated, since they are considered the most delicious and healthy.

According to experienced farmers, the best beet varieties without light rings are:

1. Bordeaux 237. It is a popular frost-hardy variety. Root crops ripen 100-120 days after planting. The vegetable is medium in size, has a rounded shape. Good taste.

Great for sowing in the fall. Farmers note such advantages of the variety as resistance to pests and the presence of persistent immunity to a number of diseases.
2. Modana. Considering varieties that are dark-colored and without light rings, you should pay attention to the Modan variety. The culture produces beautiful and flavorful fruits. Their shape is round. The pulp is sweetish. The plant is grown by seedling method. The ripening period lasts about 68-85 days. Summer residents speak positively about Modana. The species is highly valued for its resistance to ailments, cold resistance and lack of capriciousness in cultivation. However, the harvested crop is not stored for long.
3. Pablo. Wanting to enjoy the sweet beet harvest, it makes sense to plant the Pablo variety. The variety is early maturing. The vegetable ripens in 85-95 days. The root crop has a rounded shape. Weighs from 195 to 380 grams. It is characterized by a thin skin. However, keeping quality is good, it is several months.

What are the best varieties at the moment to be planted on the site?

It should be noted that when buying seeds of sweet beets: the best varieties for each summer resident will be their own. It depends on the purpose of growing, climatic conditions, taste preferences of the farmer and a number of other factors. Despite the wide range, at the moment the Dutch varieties of beets are the most popular and recognized as the most delicious. They also give a stable harvest. And root crops are one-dimensional.

Rubidus and DNero are the best Dutch beet varieties, characterized by regular round fruit. The color of the vegetable is uniform. Seeds of these species are usually sown in spring. At the same time, they sow quite thickly and cover with a special material. And in mid-May, they carry out a rasping.
