Beauregard

The American Standard in Ukrainian Fields

"Beauregard" is not just a sweet potato variety; it is a global benchmark that officially entered the State Register of Ukraine in 2024. Developed in the USA, this variety has maintained its leadership for decades due to its predictability and high market quality. For farmers operating in the Steppe (SL) zone, it is particularly interesting for its adaptability to intense solar radiation.

Field Performance and Resilience

In arid climates, "Beauregard" demonstrates balanced vegetation. Its semi-erect growth habit and moderate primary shoot length allow the plant to use moisture efficiently without overheating the soil surface. A key advantage is the lack of excessive anthocyanin accumulation in stems and petioles, indicating a healthy physiological state even during high summer temperatures.

• Stress Response: The variety is resistant to short-term soil droughts, although it requires stable irrigation during the active tuberization period to produce high-quality ellipsoidal tubers.
• Health and Phytosanitary Status: Due to its genetic traits (lack of apical pubescence, moderate leaf blade development), the variety is less prone to the accumulation of pathogens common in dense plantings.
• Yield: The thin pink skin and moderately elongated tuber shape make it ideal for mechanical harvesting, provided that vegetation timelines are strictly followed.

"Beauregard" requires attention to soil quality: it reaches its full potential in light sandy loam soils, forming uniform root crops with excellent taste profiles. This is the choice for those who rely on proven American breeding with official status in Ukraine.
