Stable Yields: 'Monika' Beetroot by PMP 'Tiras'

In the domestic seed market, the 'Monika' table beet has secured a solid reputation as a variety perfectly adapted to Ukrainian climatic conditions. Developed by breeders at PMP 'Tiras', this variety is designed for professional vegetable farming, where high marketability, ease of harvesting, and long storage potential are the main keys to success.

Agronomic Profile

This variety belongs to the popular 'Detroit' type, ensuring predictable performance for the grower. With a vegetation period of 100–110 days, it is classified as a mid-season variety. Key characteristics of the root crop include:

• Shape: perfectly round, significantly simplifying mechanical cleaning and packaging.
• Internal structure: deep dark red color with no visible radial rings.
• Flesh quality: high density ensures resistance to damage during transportation.

Market Specialization

Choosing 'Monika' is a strategic decision for producers targeting two main market channels: long-term storage and industrial processing. Due to the uniformity of the roots, this variety shows a low waste percentage during processing. The absence of rings gives the final product (whether canned or vacuum-packed) a premium, appealing appearance. In storage facilities, the variety maintains its density and flavor throughout the winter season, preserving its firmness when stored under proper temperature regimes.
