Detroit BB

Detroit beet variety is a medium-early, high-yielding French selection by Clause, ready for harvest 90-120 days after emergence. The plant prefers loamy or chernozem soils with low acidity and well-lit areas. To achieve maximum root quality, regular watering, thinning, fertilization, loosening, and weed removal are recommended. The variety features a strong root system and abundant foliage, providing good drought and stress tolerance, as well as resistance to bolting and major leaf diseases.

Detroit beets are uniform, smooth, round, dark burgundy-colored roots without rings, weighing 250-350 grams. They have a pleasant taste and are suitable for both fresh consumption and processing. Due to its high resistance to false powdery mildew (peronosporosis), this variety demonstrates reliability and stable yields across different soil types.

The Detroit variety is excellent for long-term storage and fresh market sales. Its yield potential reaches 7-7.5 kg per square meter, making it an attractive choice for farmers and gardeners seeking high-quality, reliable, and marketable table beets.
