Description KV-Marta
KV-Marta — a sugar beet variety characterized by high yield and sugar content in roots at the level of 17–18%. The leaf rosette is semi-spreading, with medium-sized, moderately corrugated, dark green leaf blades. The root has an oval-conical or cylindrical-conical shape, deeply embedded in the soil (up to 85%), with a mass of 300 to 700 grams. The root surface is relatively smooth, facilitating harvest and reducing soil adhesion. The flesh is white and juicy, and the root head is convex, gray-green, and rough.

The variety is distinguished by high drought resistance, cold tolerance, and resistance to diseases such as cercosporosis, powdery mildew, and root rot, as well as to flowering. KV-Marta has good storability, allowing for long-term preservation of the harvest. The vegetation period ranges from 120 to 140 days, depending on growing conditions. Sowing is recommended in spring after soil warming to +6–10°C or in autumn under winter cover at the end of October – beginning of November for early harvest.

The crop requires moisture, especially during seed germination and root formation, but it also possesses drought resistance. It responds well to soil liming and prefers optimal pH in the range of 6.5–7.5. KV-Marta is widely used in culinary applications for making borscht and kvass, as well as for technical purposes — sugar and molasses production. Additionally, the variety is valued as a feed crop with minimal waste.
