Adastr

Adastr is a unique sugar beet variety, distinguished by its cylindrical or cylinder-conical root shape and an average weight of about 700 grams. The root is deeply embedded in the soil and has a relatively smooth surface, significantly reducing soil adhesion during harvesting. The plant forms a semi-erect rosette of leaves with medium, solid, and moderately corrugated leaf blades. The root system is taprooted, penetrating to a depth of 2 to 3 meters, which contributes to its resilience under adverse conditions. The Adastr variety is characterized by a medium maturation period with a vegetation cycle of up to 120 days. It is drought- and cold-tolerant and exhibits high resistance to diseases such as cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and root rot. These qualities make it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions and ensure a stable yield. Adastr has universal and non-waste applications. All parts of the plant are useful and employed in culinary practices to prepare traditional dishes such as borscht and kvass. Moreover, the beet serves as a fodder crop and is widely used for technical purposes, including sugar and syrup production. Due to its characteristics and multifunctionality, this variety is a valuable product for both farmers and the food industry.
