Table fruit is two years old. In the first year it forms strong, large root crops, and by the end of the second - flowers and ripening seeds. The crop propagates only by seeds. For planting, it is recommended to choose a lighted bed, although the vegetable bears fruit normally in the shade.

The soil should not be acidic, then the greens become small and the tubers remain small and hard. The best land for planting is fertile, airy, permeable to water, does not stagnate, and has neutral acidity.

Seeds are planted both in spring and for winter - at the end of September - beginning of October.

In spring, the planting period should be chosen so that the soil has time to warm up 20-25 cm deep to a temperature of +8+10 C. This situation occurs in early to mid-May, the temperature remains stable during the day at +20+25 C, and at night it does not drop below +5 C. The main thing for a successful landing is that the temperature does not drop to +4 C or lower. When air temperatures drop, the root crop may not have time to form and the vegetable will go into flowering - it will drop in the first year, immediately moving on to the formation of buds.

Basic landing rules:

1. The seeds are initially soaked in a growth enhancer for 18-20 hours, then dried in the fresh air. Planted directly in open ground.
2. In the spring, furrows do not need to be formed; the seeds are placed on the bed approximately from May 1 to May 10, at a distance of 10-15 cm from each other, separating the rows every 20 cm.
3. After planting the seedlings, they should be sprinkled with soil 2 cm thick.
4. If frost is still possible, planting material cover overnight with a greenhouse or film.

You can also plant seeds for seedlings. Boxes with sprouts must be kept warm and bright room. At the moment when 3-4 true leaves have already been formed, the seedlings are planted in open ground.

Care - mainly high-quality weeding, timely watering, thinning and fertilizing. Mineral supplements containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are required. The lack of fertilizers affects the quality and volume of the harvest. If it is not possible to feed with special additives, then you should add wood ash, combining it with humus and.

To obtain quality and bountiful harvest, you need to make 2 additions per period:

• After thinning, adding nitrogen substances - 10 g of urea per 1 m2.
• At the moment of joining the tops in the rows, it is done by watering with potassium phosphate fertilizers (10 g of potassium chloride + 8 g of superphosphate per 1 m2).

It is not recommended to supply fertilizing in excess, otherwise the sprouts accumulate nitrates in the tubers. To prevent the heart of the tuber from rotting (there is a lack of copper, boron, molybdenum), the seeds must be soaked in these microelements before planting or later added as a foliar additive.

The first thinning must be done when 2-3 leaves appear, the next one after 14-21 days, leaving no more than 10 cm between plants. It is recommended to water abundantly only in dry, hot weather. On other days, you should focus on the condition of the soil.

Harvesting ripe beets begins in mid-September - early October. The event should begin on warm, dry days in the morning. The main guideline for starting work is the withering of the tops.

In case of accidental spoilage, the fruit must be used short terms- in the near future. If this is not done, the tuber will spoil itself and infect whole healthy fruits with rot. When removing a vegetable from the ground, it should be left to dry and dry in the garden until the evening. Before sunset, the tops are cut, cleared of adhering soil, and placed in containers.

• Copper is required for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland and for the proper functioning of female hormones.

The best early varieties of red beets– Detroit, Egyptian Flat, Bona, Red Ball, Mulatto, Oxblood, Cold Resistant 19.

- mid-season . The best option for gardeners living in the middle zone - growing mid-season beets (ripening time - 80-100 days). Such beets store quite well, have excellent yields, and their taste is more remarkable than early ones. The best varieties mid-season beets: Bordeaux 237, Single-germ, Incomparable, Cylinder, Podzimnyaya, Pablo

- late ripening. Late ripening varieties(ripening time - 100-135 days) are best suited for long-term storage. But their main drawback is that in the middle zone they do not have time to ripen normally, so they are planted late varieties beets only in more southern regions.

Depending on the form, table beets are:

Flattened (Egyptian flat, Incomparable, Nosovskaya flat, Bona)
