Efficiency of new methods of cultivation of various varieties and hybrids of table beet in the conditions of irrigation in the Astrakhan region

Abstract

Vegetable roots, including table beets, are valuable, irreplaceable components of a rational human diet. A positive feature of this crop is the good keeping quality of its root crops, which ensures year-round consumption of fresh products. During 2019-2020, research on cultivating varieties and hybrids of table beet was conducted at the experimental irrigated area of the Federal state budgetary INSTITUTION "PAFSC RAS". As a result of the field experience, a high-yielding variety of Ethiopian Was identified, which more economically spent water on the formation of marketable products. The lowest water consumption coefficient of 73.7 m3 / t was obtained in the variant using leaf treatment with Aminovit. The maximum biological yield of 83.3 t / ha for this variety was obtained on the variant with leaf treatment with complex mineral fertilizer Aminovit. With these indicators, the increase to the control was +19.9 t / ha. The commercial yield was 61.3 t / ha, while the percentage of marketability was 74.
