The flesh is juicy and sweet without internal rings, and the fruit mass varies from 110 to 210 grams. The central rootstock of the root crops is thin and very short, which facilitates their processing and use.
The DEMETRA variety is distinguished by high resistance to diseases, boltiness, and low temperatures, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions. Plants withstand drought and other stress factors well due to a powerful root system and abundant foliage. Additionally, the variety is not prone to bolting or infection by major foliage diseases, which contributes to a stable harvest.
For successful cultivation, it is recommended to choose loamy or chernozem soils with low acidity and good lighting. Regular watering, thinning of plantings, application of fertilizers, loosening, and weed removal contribute to increased marketability and yield of fruits. The variety is suitable for diverse culinary processing and canning, which makes it universal and in demand in the vegetable market.
