EFIOPO

Practical experience with Efiop table beet

When dealing with large volumes of root crops, storage and processing become the top priorities. The Efiop variety from Nasko is the case where the harvest doesn't just sit in storage, but retains its marketability until spring without extra effort. In our farming conditions, this variety shows predictable results with minimal labor costs for sorting.

Field performance and harvest

The beets ripen uniformly within the 90–100 day range. This is perfect for mechanized harvesting: the tops are strong, and the root crops are uniform and round, which minimizes losses when passing through a harvester. Inside, there is dense flesh with a deep dark-red color. For processing, it is essential to note the complete absence of white rings, ensuring a uniform color for the finished product.

Storage without losses

The main advantage of Efiop for those working in the long run is its storability. Even in standard vegetable storage, the roots do not lose turgor and are not prone to mass rot, provided that temperature regimes are maintained. This reduces the cost of sorting during the winter months.

• Processing: ideal for the production of borsch seasonings where high pigment concentration is crucial.
• Stability: Nasko seeds show high germination rates, so you don't overpay for seed waste.
• Maintenance: the variety is responsive to irrigation while maintaining impressive resistance to the stressful weather conditions typical of our region.

If your goal is to obtain a high-quality product for long-term storage or the processing industry, Efiop fulfills these needs as effectively as possible.
