Kestrel

Kestrel F1 is a mid-season hybrid of table beet developed by the Japanese breeding company Sakata. It is characterized by a vegetation period of 115-120 days and is intended for cultivation in areas with unstable weather, including cold, hot, and dry conditions. The hybrid is distinguished by high resistance to a wide range of diseases such as cercosporosis, rhizoctony, powdery mildew, and downy mildew, ensuring stable yield and product quality.

Kestrel F1 roots have a round, smooth shape and dark red color, giving them an attractive market appearance. They exhibit low ring formation and uniformity, which is especially valued both in fresh markets and by processors. Sugar content in the roots reaches 10%, providing a sweet taste and high flavor quality. Thanks to these characteristics, the hybrid is suitable for both fresh consumption and processing.

A special advantage of Kestrel F1 is its ability to be stored for long periods without loss of quality. This makes it an optimal choice for storage, allowing the harvest to be preserved for an extended time. High yield, disease resistance, and excellent flavor qualities make Kestrel F1 a reliable and profitable solution for farmers and producers of table beets.
