Field Performance of Citadela Beetroot

For those involved in commercial vegetable production, selecting the right variety is a balance between yield potential and post-harvest durability. Citadela by Moravoseed is a reliable Czech variety that hits the sweet spot for growers planning to store their harvest through the winter. With a maturity cycle of 125–130 days, it is a mid-late season variety that demands precise planning but rewards with exceptional quality.

Handling and Market Quality

Working with Citadela is straightforward for field crews. The cylindrical shape is ideal for mechanical harvesting, allowing for efficient extraction with minimal root damage. The internal appearance is striking: a deep, uniform dark red color without any white rings, which is essential for high-end retail and industrial processing.

• Storage Life: Citadela is specifically engineered for long-term storage. When kept in proper warehouse conditions, the roots retain their density and succulence well into the spring season.
• Cultivation: The variety shows excellent resilience. While it responds well to consistent moisture, the root system is robust enough to handle short-term dry spells without sacrificing marketability.

If you are looking for a variety that maintains texture and vibrant color after months in storage, Citadela from Moravoseed is a proven asset. The uniformity of the crop makes sorting faster, and the lack of internal zoning ensures the product meets the highest standards for juice production and fresh-cut processing.
