Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Varietal evaluation of Beet root (Beta vulgaris L.) under Prayagraj Agro-Climatic condition” was conducted at the Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj during Rabi season (2023-2024). The experimental material consisted of 9 beet root varieties. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisting of nine treatments and are replicated thrice. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the nine varieties for all the characters studied. Among the varieties, V7 Crystal improved recorded the highest Days to germinations (6.44), Germinations (%) (92.21), plant height (36.87 cm), number of leaves per plant (14.72), Leaf area (cm2) (168.56), days to harvest (81.51), root length (cm) (14.39), root girth (cm) (24.93), root weight (g) (137.67), Root yield per plot (kg) (18.30), Root yield (t ha-1) (45.75), TSS (0Brix) (8.73) and Ascorbic acid (3.07). The maximum Gross return (365971.67Rs. ha-1), Net return (275065.27Rs. ha-1) and Benefit cost ratio (3.03) was recorded in treatment V7 (Crystal improved).
