Beetroot
An improved version of Detroit Dark Red, with smoother roots, deeper color, and a sweeter flavor.
Smooth, powdery texture, holds water better than sandy soil but drains slower, fertile.
Optimal for a wide range of plants, nutrient availability is high.
Soils with some organic matter, but still insufficient for optimal plant growth.
Mild salinity, some sensitive crops may start showing signs of stress.
Impact: Sensitive plants like beans and carrots may experience reduced growth; tolerant plants generally unaffected.
Somewhat dry, common in transitional climates.
Impact: Moderate stress for moisture-sensitive plants; may require supplemental irrigation.
