  • Species and varieties: Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a root vegetable known for its deep red color. Common varieties include 'Detroit Dark Red', 'Chioggia', 'Golden', and 'Cylindra'. Each variety has unique characteristics in terms of color, shape, and taste.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Beetroot seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Heirloom varieties like 'Chioggia' and 'Golden' are prized for their unique colors and historical significance, while hybrid varieties are often bred for disease resistance and uniformity.
  • Pruning and training: Beetroot does not require pruning or training. However, thinning seedlings to about 3-4 inches apart is necessary to ensure proper root development.
  • Fertilization needs: Beetroot benefits from a balanced fertilizer. A soil test can help determine specific nutrient needs, but generally, a 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer applied at planting and again mid-season is sufficient. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of root development.
  • Hardiness zones: Beetroot can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 2-11. It is a versatile crop that can tolerate a range of climates.
  • Climate requirements: Beetroot prefers cool weather and can be grown in both spring and fall. Ideal growing temperatures range from 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C). It requires full sun and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.
