Evaluation of quality parameters of table beet varieties in baby beet production

Abstract

In our experiment we have examined the production of baby beetroot under different growing method from the traditional one, with shorter maturity period and with different genotype, on alluvial meadow soil. In this growing phase tender leaves can be consumed so examining the mineral element content of lamina and petiole was considered important. On the whole, it can be concluded that the suitability for growing of the examined 6 varieties for baby beetroot was proved in the case of variety Rubin because both in terms of the usable ratio of beetroot bodies and inside qualities it was considered the best of all. With its fine leafage and intensive body strengthening, this variety seemed most suitable for this growing purpose. The examintions of mineral element content have verified the value of leaves of this plant type that is the nutriophysiological advantages of its consuming.
