Kyros

Kyros fodder beet is a medium-maturing (105-130 days) high-yielding semi-sugar variety that forms cylindrical roots with juicy white flesh. This variety is distinguished by its high content of dry matter (up to 12-14%) and sugar, making it especially valuable for feeding livestock. The roots are white and partially located above ground, facilitating both mechanical and manual harvesting.

Kyros exhibits high resistance to bolting and diseases such as cercosporosis and yellow virus. It is drought-resistant and suitable for cultivation on poor soils. Due to its shallow root system, the roots are practically free from soil contamination, and a planting depth of 60% allows for efficient mechanical harvesting after preliminary leaf trimming. Beetroot retains well until late spring at temperatures from +0.5 to +4°C, ensuring excellent storability and transportability.

This fodder beet variety is widely used in agriculture as a nutritious and vitamin-rich feed for various animals. Kyros is one of the most popular varieties for home cultivation for feeding purposes. For successful cultivation, recommended predecessors include cucumbers, early potatoes, and cabbage, which were fertilized with organic matter. High seed quality and the possibility of bulk purchases make Kyros an attractive choice for farmers and private farms.
